Receiving your graduation certificate
If you graduate at a graduation ceremony:
- in person, you'll be presented with your graduation certificate during the ceremony.
- in absentia, your certificate will be posted to you after the graduation ceremony.
If you graduate via an Academic Board Meeting, your certificate will be posted to you after the meeting.
Sending your graduation certificate overseas
If you wish to have your graduation certificate delivered to an overseas address, a courier fee for academic documents will apply. Your certificate will not be sent until the courier fee has been paid.
