Request, pay and collect your academic transcript

An academic transcript is a certified record of your full enrolment history at Macquarie University.

This includes all courses attempted, results received, and awards conferred. Your academic transcript cannot be altered or separated (eg. between different undergraduate and postgraduate degrees).

Your academic transcript lists:

  • units and programs you have enrolled in
  • all units and course you have attempted
  • grades received
  • details of your qualified and completed courses

All students and graduates can order physical copies of your official transcript, and most can also order a digital copy.

A physical copy of your transcript is included in your graduation documents. Graduates since 2020 also receive a digital copy.

To ensure an academic transcript's authenticity:

  • physical transcripts are always printed on secure University paper
  • digital transcripts are held in the secure platform, My eQuals.

Refunds

We are unable to issue refunds for transcript purchases, including incorrect orders and change-of-mind requests.

Transcripts contain information that is available and accurate at the time of printing.

A simple way to know which Transcript ordering process you should follow is to first check if your Macquarie student number is an active OneID.

  • Visit the OneID Login page to check your OneID/student number
  • Enter your OneID and password

If you order your transcript before the result release date for a study period, any units enrolled in that study period will be shown as ‘Enrolled’.

1.  Check your unofficial transcript

Before ordering an official transcript, we strongly recommend checking your unofficial transcript in eStudent to ensure it contains the most up-to-date information.
