Editing Matriculation (section)

==Australia==
In Australia, the term ''matriculation'' is seldom used now. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, all states replaced the matriculation examination with either a certificate, such as the [[Higher School Certificate (New South Wales)|Higher School Certificate]] (HSC) in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] and [[New South Wales]], or a university entrance exam such as the [[Tertiary Entrance Exam]] in [[Western Australia]]. These have all been renamed (except in New South Wales) as a state-based certificate, such as the [[Victorian Certificate of Education]] (VCE) or the [[Western Australian Certificate of Education]] (WACE).

Some Catholic university colleges in Australia have reintroduced matriculation ceremonies. New students at the [[St John's College, University of Sydney|College of St John the Evangelist]] within the [[University of Sydney]] and new students at [[Campion College|Campion College Australia]] sign the college register during a formal ceremony whilst wearing academic dress.
