The New Process: Efficient and Graduation-Focused
To enhance the efficiency of certificate collection, AAU has established a structured approach:
- Approval of Final Year Results:
- Once the Senate approves final year results, a copy is sent to Exams and Records for processing the Statement of Result.
- ICT Notification for Certificate Fee:
- Concurrently, a copy is forwarded to the ICT department to ensure graduates have paid the necessary Certificate fee.
- Certificate Inscription:
- Another copy goes to the calligrapher for the inscription of the Certificate.
- Signature Acquisition:
- The University ensures that signatories – the Vice-Chancellor and Registrar – append their signatures within 48 hours.
- Certificate Issuance:
- Upon presenting the Certificate processing fee to the Senate Services Division, the Certificate is sealed and issued to the graduate.
Collaborative Effort for a Seamless Process
AAU calls for the cooperation of all stakeholders – lecturers, Heads of Departments, Deans, and, crucially, the graduating students – to facilitate this new, seamless certificate issuance process. The objective is to ensure that graduates can receive their certificates promptly before leaving the campus, marking a significant shift from the previous system.
Conclusion
This new procedure at Ambrose Alli University represents a significant step towards enhancing the post-graduation experience. It’s a change that promises to bring relief and convenience to numerous graduates, ensuring they can start their post-university life without the added stress of certificate collection. For current and prospective students of AAU, this development is a welcome change, aligning with the university’s commitment to student welfare and academic excellence.
