Academic records and completion letters

There are two types of academic documents you can order digitally or in hard copy from Massey:

  • academic records, also known as your academic transcript
  • completion letters when you have finished a qualification.

We recommend you wait until your grades are published before ordering these documents so your grades for completed courses are not blank. We can hold your order until your grades are published if you order hard copies.

Academic records

Your academic record shows all the courses you have enrolled in and your grades, including:

  • pass and fail grades
  • courses you withdrew from and were approved a fee return for
  • courses you did not complete.

In some cases it will also show if you can graduate with Massey qualifications, or qualifications you have already graduated with.

Your record will also show:

  • credits for prior learning
  • awards and scholarships
  • any exclusions you may have received.

Historical records from other universities are not shown.

Completion letters

Your completion letter proves you can or have graduated with an individual qualification. It shows the:

  • qualification, including any majors, minors or endorsements
  • study start and end dates
  • campus where you studied
  • date you can graduate or when the qualification was awarded
  • the language your qualification was taught in.

Please note that completion letters can only be issued for qualifications that you are eligible to graduate with. Therefore, completion letters cannot be issued for a Certificate of Proficiency.

Digital academic documents

We provide free certified digital copies of academic records and completion letters through My eQuals. My eQuals is an online credentials service that allows academic documents to be digitally certified, securely stored and shared.

If you have graduated since 2010 in most cases a digital version of your graduation certificate will already be available in My eQuals. When the certificate was uploaded you would have received an email from My eQuals asking you to register with them.
