Ordering a replacement parchment or academic transcript

Testamur replacement

If the name on your testamur is incorrect or you have changed your name since graduation, and would like it changed on your testamur you will need to request a replacement. 

For further information please refer to the Testamurs page.

Transcripts

If you would like additional copy(ies) of your academic transcript, find out how to order them, and the cost.

Post-nominal (award abbreviation)

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, ie you have attended a graduation ceremony or graduated in absentia.

To determine your post-nominals, you can check them on your official Transcript of Academic Record or on your unofficial transcript (which can be accessed by logging into the Student Information System and selecting the ‘My Exams and Results’ tab).  The abbreviated title of your award will be located underneath the units attempted, before your GPA (Grade Point Average).

How to write your post-nominals
Post-nominals are listed directly after your name.

Order of qualifications
The recommended order is lowest qualifications first, leading to the highest.

Institution name
The name of the awarding institution should also follow your academic qualifications.  If you hold multiple qualifications from the one institution just list the institution after all of the qualifications, not after each qualification. The abbreviation for qualifications completed at Flinders University is Flin.

Professional qualifications
If you are the member of a professional association, you may be entitled to include the postnominals for that association after your academic post-nominals.

Honours
Student who have undertaken an honours program, should list this after the qualification.    

Examples

Your name, qualifications in order received, name of institution you studied at: eg

J Bloggs BEng, PhD Flin

J Bloggs BA(Hons) Adel, MBA, PhD Flin

J Bloggs BEng, PhD Flin, FAA FTSE

Download list of post-nominals

Using the title “Dr”

If you have completed your PhD, you are able to use "Dr" once your degree has been conferred by Flinders University. The conferral process occurs at a graduation ceremony, council meeting or in absentia. 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 Information System.
