Students
Replacement of Graduate Certificates

Notes for Applicants

 

1. The graduate certificate of the University is a unique document. No duplicate copy will be issued.  However, a graduate may apply for a replacement certificate in case of loss or damage to an original certificate.  Application for replacement due to change of name of the graduate (after graduation) will not be accepted.

 

2. A graduate shall only be in possession of ONE valid copy of the certificate, including the replacement certificate for each degree and/or diploma at any given time.  In other words, if a certificate, previously reported lost, was subsequently found, the graduate concerned is required to return the extra copy to the Graduate School Office (GSO).

 

3 .A replacement certificate shall, in general, follow the current format of the graduate certificate1, with an additional statement “This certificate is reissued on (DD/MM/YYYY) [in Chinese:本證書於YYYYMMDD日補發]”. The replacement shall bear the signatures of the current University officers.

 

4. Replacement certificates are to be issued at three specified dates in a calendar year as tabulated in the 2nd column of the table below with the application periods in 2023-24:
