It's also known as an academic transcript.
If you've studied more than one course it can include all courses or just a specific course.
You can request an academic record during your studies or after you complete your course.
You can access a digital or hardcopy official academic record.
If you need an academic record for employment or government purposes, the organisation may accept a digital academic record which is certified when issued or they may request an original hardcopy that has been verified and certified. See the 'verifying and certifying your record' section below for further information.
If you have any sanctions on your student account, we're unable to issue you your academic record.

Request a hardcopy academic record
The cost of an academic record and the processing time both depend on the type of record you select.
Costs are non-refundable once your AHEGS has been issued.
| Record type | Record cost | Processing time |
|---|---|---|
| Digital | $15 | Two working days from when payment is received. |
| Hardcopy post-1986 studies | $15 | Five working days plus postage time. If you need your record processed faster, see the priority service section. |
| Hardcopy pre-1986 studies | $30 | Four weeks from when payment is received plus postage time. |
Requests for an archived academic record (for some former institutions) may take up to four weeks to complete. We'll email you to let you know how long it will take.
If you require urgent processing for a hardcopy version, a priority service is available for an extra $20 for most post-1986 records.
You can choose to collect your record from HiQ or have it delivered via express post in Australia or courier overseas.
If you lodge your request:
For some post-1986 records from predecessor institutions, priority processing may not be available. If this is the case, we'll contact you.
The priority service isn't available when you nominate someone else to collect your record.
Various collection and delivery options are available.
We'll send an email with a link to My eQuals to your personal email address from 'noreply-equals@qut.edu.au'.
You can collect your academic record free from HiQ.
Express postage in Australia costs $10, or $30 for overseas courier.
We'll send it to the address on your request form.
If you ordered a hardcopy academic record but don't receive it after waiting the processing and postage time, and your address was correct, check with your local mail delivery centre.
If you still haven't received your record, email the details to askqut@qut.edu.au. In your email, include your QUTPay receipt reference number and your full name, student number, date of birth, address and course name for identification purposes.
You can also arrange to collect your record or nominate someone else to collect your record from HiQ.
If you can't collect your academic record you can nominate someone else to collect it.
You'll need to submit a written authorisation at least three hours before collection either through your QUT email, a third party authorisation form (no priority option) or power of attorney.
The person collecting your document will need to show photo identification such as a passport, Australian drivers licence or Australian proof of age card.
Various organisations in Australia and overseas may need proof that your academic record is genuine before they'll accept it for employment or government purposes. You may therefore need to have your record verified and certified.
If you print a copy of your digital academic record, we're unable to verify it and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) won't be able to certify it. Digital academic records are certified when issued but you'll need to check with the relevant organisation to see if they'll accept it for your purpose.
If you need your academic record verified, we can stamp it with our official QUT verification stamp.
You can either request for your record to be verified when you apply for it or you can take your original hardcopy to HiQ.

After we verify your academic record, you may need to have it certified.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) will be able to certify that the QUT verification stamp on your official academic record is genuine.
The process by DFAT to certify a document, by an apostille or authentication certificate, is also called legalisation.

If you want your academic record for a short course that you've completed, including the Maths B, Chemistry and Physics bridging courses, email Continuing Professional Education via cpe@qut.edu.au.
