Students who have successfully completed their degree, diploma or certificate in biostatistics will graduate from their home university. Graduates receive official acknowledgement of their academic award from this university, ie the university in which they were enrolled and where their student transcript for the course is recorded.

The BCA (represented by all consortium universities collectively) is proud of the achievements of its graduates and acknowledges this by giving a certificate and a letter of congratulations from the BCA Steering Committee to students who have received a (Post)Graduate Diploma or Masters degree.

Star Graduates will receive additional acknowledgment in the letter and certificate.

A Star Graduate is a graduate from the Masters or (Post)Graduate Diploma who has an overall average of at least 85%, and has achieved a mark of 85% or more in all, or all but one, units of study.
