  • What is the difference between the Graduation Statement and a Statement of Academic Record?

    A UWA Statement of Academic Record is a comprehensive statement of a student's academic history and any current enrolment details as at the date of issue. It can be issued at various stages of a student’s career. A Graduation Statement is only issued upon graduation with an award. Subsequent copies of the document will contain the same information as the original.

    Yes, all unit attempts contributing to the completed course are recorded on your Graduation Statement. This includes any failed or withdrawn units.

  • Will my grade point average (GPA) and weighted average mark (WAM) appear on my Graduation Statement?

    Yes, your GPA and WAM will appear on your Graduation Statement if you commenced your course in or after 2005. Formal GPAs and WAMs were not calculated prior to 2005. Visit askUWA for more information about GPAs and WAMs.

  • What if there is an error on my Graduation Statement?

    Every effort is made to ensure your Graduation Statement is correct. However, if you find an error, such as a misprint or missing information, please contact the Graduations team through askUWA. You will be required to return your original before you receive a replacement. We will not be able to act on any changes to your Graduation Statement until after the ceremony round is complete.

  • Will I receive two Graduation Statements if I was enrolled in a combined course?

    Yes, you will receive two Graduation Statements when you have completed and graduated from both awards.

  • Can I order additional copies of my Graduation Statement?
