Graduates conferred prior to September 2018 are able to purchase digital documents via Online Payments.

  • Digital documents will be on the current University templates and may vary in appearance from your original paper documents.
  • Graduates who completed prior to 2004 may not be eligible for digital documents.

Using the title "Dr"

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.

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.

How to determine your post-nominals

To determine your post-nominals, you can check them on your academic transcript or on your unofficial transcript (which can be accessed by logging into the Student 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
