Upon the successful completion of your study at the University, you will be conferred with the appropriate academic award at the University's Congregation ceremony, usually held in October/November of each year.

Academic award parchments will normally be available for collection in November / December each year after the Congregation. You will be notified of the exact dates in the letter inviting you to the Congregation.


If you are unable to come in person to collect the parchment, you may authorize another person in writing to collect it on your behalf. A copy of your HKID Card (or Passport for those who do not possess a HKID Card) and student identity card must be attached to your authorization letter. The copy of your HKID Card / Passport will be returned to the authorized person after verification.

The University is not responsible for the safe custody of any uncollected parchments after the stipulated collection period. Uncollected parchments may be destroyed after the stipulated collection period. It is therefore your responsibility to collect the parchment according to the published dates.

The University will not, under any circumstances, issue a duplicate or replacement copy of the academic award parchments.
