ACU Documents

You may need to provide documentary evidence of your qualifications, employment experience, English language proficiency, change of name, or provide course-specific documents.

Your application will indicate if you need to provide documents. Both course-specific documents and qualification documents can be provided easily by uploading them at any time in your application.

Verified Documents

Official documentation included with your application may need to be verified as a true and accurate copy.

Uploading documents

Before you start

Once you’ve uploaded your documents, you can view them, but you can’t edit or delete them.
If you want to replace a document you have uploaded for a course preference, just upload the new document and make sure it is clearly marked with your full name, application number, course code and document type. You can't remove the original.
You can upload up to five documents for each qualification or course preference. If you want to provide more, contact UAC for advice.
If more than one of your course preferences requires the same document, you only have to upload the document once.
All course-specific documents must include your full name, ACU application number, course code and document type.
Your documents can’t be uploaded by referees or other third parties.

Instructions

Log in to your application.
To upload course-specific documents, go to the course preferences section. Any required documents will be listed under 'Additional course requirements'. Select 'upload' to upload your PDF files.
To upload documents related to your qualifications, go to the qualifications section and select 'Upload' for each document you are required to upload.
Follow the prompts to upload your documents.

Document specifications

All documents must be PDF files. If your document isn’t a PDF file (eg photo, Word doc), you need to convert it. You can use UAC’s document conversion service – simply attach the document file to an email addressed to conv2pdf@uac.edu.au. For each attached file you’ll receive an email back with a converted PDF file. There are also many document conversion packages available on the web.
Each PDF document must be smaller than 5 MB. If your PDF document file size is bigger than 5 MB, you’ll need to reduce it to upload your document. You may be able to do this by lowering the resolution of the PDF file and any images it contains.
All documents must be uploaded as PDFs through your application. If you send hardcopies, they will be scanned and then destroyed. PDF copies will be kept for 7 years and then also destroyed.

Important note for Apple users
If you're using an Apple computer with a macOS version older than 10.8, do not use its built-in PDF software to prepare PDF documents. Documents created or saved using this software and uploaded will be not viewable.

Academic transcripts

If UAC cannot obtain your results directly from an institution, you'll need to provide an official academic transcript. The transcript must show:

the title of the course undertaken
all subjects taken
grades obtained (including failures)
stage reached or qualification gained
proof of course completion (where course is complete)
a copy of the grading scale where available.

A collection of examination result slips is not acceptable. Apply for your transcript/s early – some institutions may need time to supply official transcripts.
