There are different types of documents available through Parchment. – Parchment/Certificate
Since 2020 all students graduating with a major award will be issued with a digital parchment and those students who have successfully completed a special purpose award/minor award/single subject certificate. For Major awards, a hard copy parchment will be given out at conferring. Digital Parchments will be issued to Parchment for Duplicate Parchments. These parchments will clearly state duplicate.
For Special Purpose or Minor awards Digital Parchments will be issued via Parchment as Original Parchment. We do not issue hard copy Parchments for Minor or Special Purpose awards. Digital Parchments/Certificates cannot be issued for awards prior to 2020. Students with outstanding fees are not entitled to receive a parchment/certification or attend conferring ceremonies.
Please note – documents will only be available via Parchment to those students whose fees are paid in full. Please refer to your Student Account to check for any outstanding fees: My Self-Service Banner
