Students must clear all outstanding matters with the University (e.g. tuition fees, Library fines/loans, student loans, etc.) before collecting their award certificates. Students who have not cleared all outstanding matters will NOT be allowed to collect the award certificate.
It is the University's policy to retain award certificates for collection up to 31 December of the following year after graduation (e.g. for 2012 graduates, the deadline for collection is 31 December 2013). After that date, all uncollected award certificates will be confidentially disposed without any further notice.
If you wish to get an award certificate afterwards, you will need to apply for a replacement certificate with a fee at the prevailing rate (currently HK$400) as published in the University's website. Please click here for the procedures for applying for a replacement award certificate.
You may authorize a person to collect the award certificate on your behalf. Please click here for the documents required.
If you do not have an authorized representative and you are not residing in Hong Kong, please contact us at tpenquir@cityu.edu.hk for further arrangement.

Please complete the application form downloadable here and provide the necessary information and supporting documents as specified in the application form.
