Frequently Asked Questions
-
What document should I apply for if I want to certify the medium of instruction of the University?
Please apply for an official transcript. Information on English as the medium of instruction at the University is pre-printed under section F of "Guide to symbols used in transcripts" at the overleaf of the official transcript.
-
What kind of document will you certify?
We only certify degree certificates issued by the University. For certificates issued by individual department or HKU SPACE, please contact the relevant office for assistance.
To make a declaration or oath/affirmation of your other documents, you may seek assistance from a Notary Public or any of the Government's Home Affairs Enquiry Centres.
-
Where can I obtain a document to verify the contact hours of my study?
Please contact your home Faculty for assistance.
-
What is the difference between a Graduation Certificate and a "Certificate of Graduation (CoG)"?
You do not need to apply for a Graduation Certificate as it is issued to graduates free of charge after the Congregation Ceremony, normally in late November/December.
A "Certificate of Graduation" (CoG) is a document which certifies that a student has successfully completed the requirements for the conferment of a degree and is issued to students
before the issuance of graduation certificates. As transcripts and testimonials are suitable for most purpose, you may consider to apply for a CoG only when necessary. -
Where can I get more information about the Congregation Ceremony?
Please visit the Congregation website.
