3.

Arrange to Send Documents to Verify Your Qualifications

Arrange to send official proof of all of the qualifications (except those obtained from PolyU) stated in your online application to PolyU for verification.  All official documents must be sent directly by the issuing authorities to PolyU and received before you register at PolyU. Failure to do so or any discrepancies found may lead to the nullification of your admission offer and registration at the University. Please note that the official documents submitted will not be returned.

Official Proof of Qualifications (Undergraduate and Postgraduate Studies)

Arrange for certified copies of your degree certificate(s)/diploma(s) and final official transcript(s) to be sent directly by the issuing authority to PolyU (except those obtained from PolyU).  Every final official transcript should include the final grade or classification and date of award.

* Certified copies of degree certificates/diplomas should have original stamps and be duly certified by the Registrar or by an authorised official of your university.

For degrees awarded by universities in the Chinese Mainland/recognised by the Ministry of Education from Chinese Mainland, your Degree Certificate (學位證書) and Academic Credential (畢業證書) will be verified via official online platforms directly. Please input the Online Verification Code (線上驗證碼) issued by the China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center (教育部學位與研究生教育發展中心) of your Degree Certificate (學位證書) and the Online Verification Code (線上驗證碼) of your Academic Credential (畢業證書) issued by the CHESICC (學信網) at eAdmission. Final year students or students who graduated before 2008, your Degree Certificate (學位證書) cannot be verified online. You should ask your awarding institution to send us a letter of graduation issued by the Registrar or an authorised official of your institution.

Electronic copies are highly preferred. Please ask the issuing authority to send us the electronic copies of your documents using an official email account (e.g. ar.rpg@polyu.edu.hk(link sends e-mail)). If the issuing authority cannot send us an electronic version of the official documents, please ask them to send us hard copy of the official documents by express post. The envelope should be sealed, signed and stamped by the Registrar or by an authorised official of your institution.

The University will only accept originals or copies of the documents that have been duly declared as true copies by an authorised party, which includes a lawyer, a notary public, or a Consulate General.

Official certified translation in English is required for transcripts and certificates that are not in English or Chinese. The translator should sign and stamp on both (i) the translation and (ii) the official document and certify that the translation is accurate and completed by an authorised party as stated above.

Score Report for GMAT, GRE, IELTS or TOEFL

Arrange for your official score report to be sent directly by the test provider to PolyU. PolyU’s institutional code is CB8 for GMAT, 3404 for GRE and 0732 for TOEFL. IELTS score report could be verified online without an access code. You are therefore not required to request IELTS to send us the hard copy report unless you are asked to do so.

If your score reports CANNOT be verified online, you should ask the relevant test/examination provider to send us the official result slip for our verification.

Details of qualification verification will be delivered on your Notice of Offer via eAdmission.
