My eQuals is a platform shared by Australian and New Zealand Universities and further information can be found here: https://www.myequals.edu.au

My eQuals allows you, the student, secure access to your academic records online. You can share your digital academic records with whoever you choose. You can also choose how long you allow a third party to view your records. Your documents will be available on your My eQuals account indefinitely.

Your online documents in My eQuals can only be produced by UNSW and cannot be modified in My eQuals. Therefore, if you give a third party (a potential employer, for example), access to your online academic record, the third party will be able to rely on the authenticity of your documents and not have to undertake a manual back-to-source check to verify your documentation.

UNSW students who graduated in or after Semester 1 2018 can access their graduation documents, including their AHEGS, transcript and testamur.

However, if you are a current or past UNSW student, there is now the option for you to access your transcript via My eQuals by lodging an application (see How to Apply).
