Providing your application documents

To support your application to study at Bond, you’ll need to provide electronic copies of your qualifying documents, such as transcripts or identification. If you are not able to provide electronic copies, you can either provide original documents in person to our Admissions Office, or mail us copies that have been certified by an authorised person.

What are the steps for providing my documents?

There are a number of ways you can provide documents when applying to study at Bond University. These will depend on your previous qualifications or current circumstances.

Once you have your results, just snap a pic of those long-awaited grades and send it to your Bond Regional Manager.

Step 1: Snap

Using your phone or computer, take a screenshot or photo of your ATAR results. You must include your personal details including full name, your ATAR score, and the issuing authority (e.g., QTAC, QCAA) or website URL where relevant. Please ensure there are no obstacles or reflections distorting or obscuring any information. If you have applied for a program with prerequisite subjects, such as the Bachelor of Biomedical Science or Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science, you will also need to send evidence of satisfactory completion of the relevant subjects. If you are studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, the same process applies to you – be sure to send us all the relevant information listed above, including your IB score, once received.

Step 2: Send

Send your results directly to your Regional Manager via email or text. Once received, we'll process them as quickly as we can and upload them to our system. When we have received and processed your results, you will receive an email with some handy hints and tips to assist you with the next step in your Bond journey – enrolling in your subjects.

When submitting electronic documents, you may enclose academic transcripts and documents from verified digital sources.
