Detailed arrangements are available in the homepage of Registration and Examinations Section. The fee for delivery of degree certificate (Speedpost) is as follows. However, the University accepts no responsibilities for any loss/defacement and delay of the degree certificate during postal delivery by the Speedpost service.

(4)       Important information

Clause 14.1 of the General Regulations Governing Full-time Undergraduate Studies stipulates that “The Degree Certificate shall be issued to a student after s/he has been conferred a degree at the Congregation.  Degree Certificates for graduates with outstanding debts to the University will be withheld until the accounts are settled.”

If graduates have any outstanding items, e.g. unreturned library materials, late payment penalty, etc., please settle them with relevant offices as soon as possible.

The degree certificate is an important document. Please keep it in a safe place after collection. Please note that, for any degree certificates uncollected for SEVEN years from the award year, we regret that they may be destroyed without further notification.
