REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATES
Your certificate is a very valuable document. The importance of collecting and keeping it in a safe place cannot be overly emphasized. The current policy of the University on the replacement of certificates which are lost or damaged, states in part:
- That Replacement Certificates may be issued at a cost to be determined from time to time by the Vice-Chancellor on behalf of the Finance and General Purposes Committee;
- The charge shall be sufficient to deter flippant requests;
- The replacement documents shall be embossed with the words ‘Replacement’ and endorsed “the original of this document was issued on (date)”.
Graduates requesting replacement certificates may request same by completing and submitting the replacement form. The current cost for each replacement certificate is US$175.00.
