All Flinders graduates from September 2018 are issued with digital documents via My eQuals upon their conferral (graduation).

If you have completed your Doctorate or PhD, you are able to use "Dr" once your degree has been conferred by Flinders University. To be eligible for conferral, the Dean of Graduate Research needs to confirm that you have met the degree requirements and record that you have been awarded the degree on the Student System.
A post-nominal or award abbreviation are the letters denoting the qualifications you receive after you graduate.
Note, you can only use post-nominals once your award has been conferred.
You can determine your post-nominals on your academic transcript or on your unofficial transcript. The abbreviated title of your award will be located underneath the units attempted, before your GPA (Grade Point Average).
To view your unofficial transcript:
The transcript (PDF format) will be sent to your Flinders email address.
You can request an unofficial academic transcript by emailing your request to askflinders@flinders.edu.au. There is no charge for unofficial transcripts.
Official transcripts are available for purchase. Before placing your order, please check your unofficial transcript on the Student System for accuracy.
For example, if you need completion details, look at the bottom of the transcript for ‘Completed the requirements for (degree) on (date)’ and ensure all results are finalised, as there are no refunds. Your official transcript will reflect your academic record as of the order date.
See how do I order a copy of my official transcript for more information. If you don’t have access to the Student System, please submit an Ask Flinders request.
