Celebrate your hard work and all that you have achieved during your time at RMIT before you embark on a new adventure.

Graduation is a momentous milestone in every student’s life. Discover all you need to know about the graduation process at RMIT Vietnam.

Eligibility

To graduate from RMIT University Vietnam you need to ensure that you have:

  • Met all academic requirements for your program
  • No missing results or credit transfers
  • No financial debt owing to the University

Apply to graduate

RMIT Vietnam students in diploma and degree programs are invited to graduate. However, graduation does not occur automatically when you complete a program of study and you need to apply to graduate in your final year. If you believe you are eligible to graduate, you are responsible for submitting an Application to Graduate by logging into this link.

If you do not wish to attend the ceremony, you are still required to complete an application to graduate and indicate that you wish to confer your degree in absentia. The term 'graduate in absentia' originates from the Latin word for absence (absentia). It simply means that you graduate without attending an official ceremony. In this case, you will receive your official testamur (certificate) from the Student Administration Office

Your transcript is an official record of your studies at RMIT University, across all program/s. It documents your programs, courses, results and any exemptions granted or withdrawals from courses after the census date. When applicable, transcripts include details of completion, conferral (graduation) and University-awarded prizes and recognition. 

  • Completion transcript: is a transcript generated after a student has officially completed their program. As soon as the School confirms completion of your program, you will qualify for a Completion transcript. This will show you have met the requirements to graduate and will assist you with employability in the period before conferral/ graduation. Completion transcript has gone digital via My eQuals.
  • Academic transcript: is a document issued by the University that states your result in a program, your GPA. Academic transcript has gone digital via My eQuals. A copy of a transcript can be requested online (fee applies). 
  • Award transcript: is a transcript generated after conferral date (graduation at a ceremony or in absentia) - it will state that you have completed your program and been conferred.  Award transcripts have gone digital via My eQuals. An email will be sent to your personal email account after graduation telling you that RMIT has issued the digital documents and how to access them. 
  • Unofficial transcript: is an interim document that can be issued from RMIT Vietnam to enable you to evidence your studies. This is often sufficient for employment purposes or applications for further study, where you have not yet completed your studies at RMIT and do not yet have an official transcript. An unofficial transcript may be ordered from RMIT Connect (fee applies).
