Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS)
Once your award is conferred in a graduation round, you’ll receive a free digital copy of your Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS).
The Australian Government introduced this statement to improve the worldwide recognition of Australian qualifications. Monash provides graduation statements to students who graduated after 1 December 2010.
Contents of the graduation statement
Your graduation statement will describe:
- Monash University as the awarding institution
- the Australian higher education system
- your award
- your academic achievements.
Details can include:
- graduation and course name
- graduation status
- conferral date
- advanced standing
- completed units with mark and grade (distinction, credit, pass, fail or withdrawal)
- Grade Point Average (GPA) and Weighted Average Mark (WAM)
- thesis abstract
- awarded prizes or special achievements
- awarded scholarships
- additional course details or special requirements achieved within the course.
Masters awarded with distinction
If you’re graduating with a masters by coursework degree and you have a WAM of 80 or above, you’ll see 'awarded with distinction' on your AHEGS.
Double degree
If you’re a double degree student and your course leads to two awards, you will receive two graduation statements, one for each award.
Digital format
From 2018, graduates receive their AHEGS in digital format. The week following your conferral, you’ll receive email confirmation that they’re online in the My eQuals portal.
Your digital documents are certified only when viewed online through the My eQuals portal. You’ll be able to provide potential employers and other people with a link so they can view and verify your qualifications online.
