Virtual Congregation
The virtual session of the Congregation is scheduled for June 10, 2025. Arrangement for the collection of certificates for graduands will be announced at the HKU Congregation website in due course. Graduands who have completed their studies and are eligible for graduation in early 2025, may choose to participate in the virtual session of the Congregation OR the in-person session, but they CANNOT attend both. Those who have a genuine need for the early issuance of the graduation certificate (i.e. before the dates of the in-person congregation) should choose the virtual session.
Registration to Virtual or In-person Congregation
Eligible graduands will be invited to register for the virtual session of the Congregation in early May, 2025.
Eligible graduands for joining the in-person Congregation will receive notification email from the Faculty in late June 2025.
Graduands are advised to check their HKU email @connect.hku.hk regularly to receive all the relevant information about the Congregation arrangement.
IMPORTANT NOTE
1. Graduands are assigned to the Congregation nearest to the completion date of their studies for conferral of degrees.
2. For candidates who are not able to attend either the virtual or the in-person Congregation they are assigned to, they will be conferred the degrees in absentia at the in-person Congregation.
