Academic Verification
The Academic Verification is for use by external companies/agencies to confirm that the information a student has provided to them is
correct. This can be used for employment or further study. It contains the following information:
Current enrolment dates & course
Industry Based Learning
Completion dates
Conferral/Graduation dates
Any external company/agency requiring confirmation on a current or past student can apply for verification. For any information other
than conferral/graduation date, a Privacy Waiver must be supplied where the student is authorizing the release of information to the
specified company/agency.
There is no charge for Academic Verification Requests. A request generally takes between 5 to 10 working days.
Fields marked with are mandatory
Important Information
1. Verification of a student's qualification will be made where the award has been conferred/ graduated. Past students'
conferral date and award name can be released as a matter of public record.
2. All other requests will be released only with the written consent of the student.
3. If we cannot authenticate your company details or the student's permission we will decline your request.
Note: A student may have met the award requirements and not be conferred (graduation is not compulsory). Verification in
this instance cannot be provided until the student has applied to graduate.
Privacy Waiver
Companies requiring information other than the graduation date will need to provide us with a privacy waiver signed by the
student. If a student has provided a signed privacy waiver to the external body other details can be included, such as, course
completion dates, majors/minors.
