The University can post it, via standard Royal Mail delivery, to the address you gave us during the graduation registration process

You can confirm that you will purchase DHL Delivery (tracked service) from the University Online Shop for your documents to be sent via a tracked service to the address you gave us during the graduation registration process

If you elect to graduate in absentia your award documents will be posted to the address you confirmed during the graduation registration process within two weeks of the graduation ceremony.

Collecting your certificate

Should you wish to collect your award documents, you will have the opportunity during the graduation registration process to confirm whether yourself or a friend will collect your documents. Please note that if your award documentation is not collected within 14 days of the graduation ceremony it will be posted to the address you confirmed during the graduation registration process

Non-receipt of certificate

There may be isolated instances where award documents are lost in the postal system. If the non-arrival of your award documents is due to failure to supply a correct or up-to-date address then you will be required to purchase replacement documents via the University online shop.
