A University of Otago "statement of completed qualifications" includes your full name and lists each qualification you have completed at the University along with the date/s those qualifications were completed or conferred. These can be requested for several reasons, including:
- Applications to other tertiary institutions
- Job applications
- Proof of previous study
- Moving from an undergraduate degree to postgraduate study
- Applying to competitive-entry programmes with specific entry criteria
If you obtain this statement after applying to graduate but before your ceremony takes place, it will note the date on which the qualification is to be conferred. It also states that English is the standard language of instruction at the University.
Sometimes students who move to another university before completing their University of Otago qualification may be asked to provide evidence that their study here was taught in English. The current statement of enrolment letter does not state that English is the standard language of instruction at the University of Otago. In this situation, the student can email a copy of the request to: student-records@otago.ac.nz and the Student Records team will provide them with evidence of their Otago study being taught in English.
