However, your paper testamur, digital testamur, academic transcript and Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) will not be released until all sanctions have been paid or instalment plans have been finalised. These sanctions are not limited to the course of study you wish to graduate with, they will also be applied for post graduate courses you are currently enrolled in.
To view sanctions please follow the instructions below:
Payments take up to three (3) business days to process. If you would like the sanction removed prior to this, please submit an Ask Flinders request asking for the sanction to be removed and attach a copy of your payment receipt. Requests can only be processed if a copy of your receipt is attached.
