AHEGS
AHEGS stands for the Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement and is a Commonwealth initiative that has been introduced to improve the recognition and portability of Australian qualifications. UWS started issuing AHEGSs to all graduating students in 2011. Students who completed their course at the end of 2010 and graduated at the April 2011 graduation ceremonies were the first to receive an AHEGS.
You can find out more information on the AHEGS page.
Law graduates please note the Legal Profession Admission Board does not accept AHEGS for registration. Please see the AHEGS FAQs for more information on what you need to do.
Can I get a reissue or replacement AHEGS?
Every effort is made to ensure that AHEGSs are correct. However, if there is a misprint or other error, you will need to contact graduations@uws.edu.au and return the original incorrect AHEGS. A replacement due to a University error (this does not include any name changes submitted after the closing date) will be issued free of charge.
Some University prizes are awarded after graduation. If you were awarded a University prize for performance in an award course after graduation, you may be eligible for a replacement AHEGS if your prize was awarded from 2010. You will need to contact graduations@uws.edu.au once you have been notified of the prize, to confirm if the prize should appear on your AHEGS. A replacement due to the late award of specific University prizes will be issued free of charge.
Please note that if you graduated prior to April 2011 you are not eligible to receive an AHEGS.
Name change
To order an additional AHEGS with a new name, you must first lodge a Change of Personal Details form along with certified documentary evidence at any UWS Student Central.
Once the form is lodged you must email graduations@uws.edu.au to advise of the name change and then order the new AHEGS through iPay.
