2. Collection of UK Partner University Degree Certificates
On the day of the ceremony, UK partner university degree certificates will be available for collection at: SBC Registry Department, T107 Teaching Building, the Sino-British College (Fuxing Road Campus). Collection time: 9:30 – 11:00, 23 July 2026.
The travel time between the two campuses is approximately 1 hour. Please plan your commute between campuses accordingly and ensure you collect your certificate within this time window, so as not to miss the ceremony check-in and entrance procedures.
Note: Should the SBC Registry receive the UK partner university degree certificates a few days in advance, an email notification will be sent by the Registry regarding early collection. Certificates may be collected in person or by an authorised representative. For in-person collection, please bring the original valid ID document. For collection by an authorised representative, please bring an authorisation letter bearing the graduate’s handwritten signature (containing both parties’ names, ID numbers, purpose of authorisation, and the graduate’s signature), along with a photocopy of both the graduate’s and the representative’s ID cards for filing. For specific procedures, please consult SBC Registry.
3. Transportation and Return Travel Reminders
Important Transportation Note: Parking on the Jungong Road Campus of USST is limited. All graduates and accompanying family members are strongly encouraged to use public transportation (metro, bus) for an eco-friendly commute.
Return Travel Reminder: The ceremony includes multiple fixed segments such as on-site check-in, academic gown collection, rehearsal, degree awarding, group photography, and gown return—making the entire event rather lengthy. If you need to book return train, high-speed rail, or flight tickets in advance, we recommend booking departures after 20:00 to allow ample time for photography, departure, and commuting.
4. Dress Code
Each graduate attending the Graduation and Degree Awarding Ceremony must wear full academic gown set in strict compliance with the uniform requirements of SBC and UK partner universities. Participation is required from the moment of on-site check-in through to the conclusion of the awarding ceremony and group photography session.
5. Follow-up Notices
Detailed information regarding the ceremony schedule, assembly point, seating arrangements, guest etiquette, academic gown collection and return, group photography arrangements, and other specific matters will be released in a subsequent notice. Please stay tuned to SBC’s official communication channels (official website, email, etc.) and do not miss any critical updates.
