Applicants should indicate clearly their purpose in the application by selecting the appropriate purpose or inputting the relevant sample no. (e.g. LC3) in the purpose section. For applying for the above standard letters of certification like the samples shown, the normal processing time is 3-5 working days. If applicants need to request for letters other than the standard ones, or certification for other specific purposes, they can only be dealt on a factual ground and will need longer processing time (around 10 working days depending on situation). The University cannot, however, certify personal and academic information not on the student records. |
