Unless you've changed you're name...
"I am officially finished..." is an acceptable and grammatically correct alternative.
"...changed you're name..." on the other hand, is not.
your - personal possessive
you're - "you are"
:p

Fine, I'll grant that "I am finished with university" would be tighter grammatically, but I still contend that "I am finished university" is acceptable.
"I am" - to exist (present tense)
"finished" - the state of having completed a task
"university" - an institution for post secondary education - in this case being used as a short-hand for the education itself.
"I am finished university" - I currently exist in the state of having completed my university education.

also, this thread has taken internet-based grammar-fascism to a whole new level, thanks for that, tensen. :\

As someone going through the rigors of a 6+3+2 year program, I am very happy for you, Matt. Congratulations!
If you don't mind my asking, what degree did you finish with? (it might have been mentioned before but my memory is fawlty)
P.S. Also, plus points for the Col. Klink reference.
