(3) 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 by the University. 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. We regret that any degree certificates uncollected for SEVEN years from the award year will be disposed of without further notification.
A one-time arrangement is made for graduates of 2016-17 and before to collect their degree certificates on or before 31 December 2025. If these graduates do not make arrangements for collection or receiving the degree certificate via Speedpost by the end of 2025, the uncollected degree certificates will be securely disposed. In such case, graduates may apply for a replacement copy following the protocol as stipulated in RES homepage, if necessary.
