No applications are required for the above official certifications.  For collection of the paper award parchment, you may visit our website for updated information on the relevant arrangements in early March, early July or early October with reference to your graduation timeline. 


All academic awards are subject to formal conferment by the designated authority within the University.  Therefore, graduands could obtain their graduation award parchments only upon the start of the official collection period in the respective round of exercise.  Any request for early collection of this important certification would not be entertained. 

When your award parchment is pending for issuance, you may consider making use of the official certifications like ‘Transcript of Studies’ or ‘Testimonial’ as proof of your academic attainments from PolyU.  For applications, please visit AR website > Graduates > Application Forms. 

If you have any enquiries about ‘Transcript of Studies’ or ‘Testimonial’, please contact your Faculty Office / SD / SFT / SHTM for assistance. 

Notes to graduates:

  1. The award parchments are retained for one year and, if uncollected, they may be destroyed without further notice. 
  2. If graduates have unsettled matters with the University, e.g. outstanding debts to the University, or are subject to disciplinary action, the University reserves the right to withhold the issuance of (or retract) their award parchments or certifications of study.
  3. The award parchment is an official document; no replica or replacement will be issued. Hence, please safekeep it.
