Documents such as academic transcripts may be published to My eQuals through eVision.
Who is this available to
This service is accessible to all students who have studied or are currently studying at the University of Otago.
How do I access it
To request a document upload to My eQuals:
- Log in to eVision.
- Go to My Programmes and Papers.
- Click Publish your Transcript to My eQuals.
- Confirm email address and click Generate.
- If your student email address is active, your transcript will be published to a new My eQuals account linked to your student email address.
- If your student email address is no longer active, you will be asked to enter a personal email address. Click the Change button and enter the address you would like linked to your My eQuals account.
- You will receive an email within 24 hours, prompting you to register.
- Register for My eQuals.
- Pay the one-off fee.
- View your documents.
To ensure continued access, add a personal email address as your primary email address in My eQuals and/or link your My eQuals account to a social media account before you leave the University. This can be done via Profile settings.
If you've already signed up with your personal email address and need to link to your student account, see the instructions for adding another email.
When can I get it
Students who have graduated after 2017 have their documents automatically uploaded to My eQuals. Graduates who completed their studies before this year will need to contact AskOtago to arrange to set up a My eQuals account if they have not already done so.
Most students can set up an account at any time, although there may not be able to view any documentation until their paper results have been confirmed (possibly not until their graduation ceremony is over).
You may not be able to access your My eQuals account if it is connected to your student email and your Outlook (webmail) has been deactivated. Contact AskOtago for further assistance if this is the case.
How much does it cost
If you do not yet have a My eQuals account set up, you will first need to create an account, with your personal email rather than student email if possible, and then pay a one-off charge of $30 to access your documentation. This is a non-negotiable payment as My eQuals is an external site and therefore not included in the standard fees for tertiary study at Otago.
Who provides this service
My eQuals is an external website utilised by the University to store academic transcripts and other official University documents. Technical issues with My eQuals can be directed to AskOtago.
Unable to upload transcript due to "Student Otago matriculation year is not specified" error
If this message appears after the student goes to Generate in the Programmes and Papers tab in eVision, there may be a background issue with the student's year of starting at Otago being incorrect.
- Check with Student Records that the student's starting year is correct in eVision.
- If it is correct, refer to IT to have the issue resolved in eVision.
This should now mean the transcript can be published to My eQuals.
