8. GRADUATION
Getting References from Supervisor(s)
Candidate is advised to plan ahead and get references from their
supervisor(s)/lecturers before they leave the university. This will ensure that
their referee still has their details and can obtain further relevant information
from the candidates.
Scroll, E-scroll and Academic Transcript
Effective from 2014 onwards, in addition to the hardcopy scrolls to be given to all
graduates, the University of Malaya has introduced the e-Scroll (electronic scroll)
so that graduates can access their scrolls through the UM website at any given
time.
Amongst its unique features, each e-Scroll is digitally signed by the University
Registrar and Vice Chancellor, providing strong protection for the digital
identities of the two signatories, thus security storing their private signing keys
and preventing unauthorized access. This is an added value service provided by
the University to speed up the process of obtaining the authorized or certified
version of the scroll for employment purposes. This system is also beneficial for
students who have lost their original paper scroll.
Graduate is also given an Academic Transcript (hard copy). The first issue of
academic transcript is complimentary. A fee of RM10.00 will be charged for
subsequent issues of the transcript.
Convocation Procedures
Upon fulfilment of all requirements needed for a programme, candidates will be
informed officially by IGS as to the degree to be conferred upon. The official
notice will be issued after the University Senate approves the conferment. Prior to
the convocation, graduand must ensure that any outstanding fees to the
University are cleared. Graduand can be barred from attending the convocation
ceremony and the scroll and transcript withheld until all outstanding fees are
cleared.
