Degree Scrolls

Students who have officially been conferred/awarded their degrees or graduate diplomas will be issued scrolls together with ONE (1) complimentary official transcript. 


Electronic (e-) degree scrolls and transcripts are issued to graduates who were admitted from August 2004 (Higher degrees) and August 2005 (Bachelor’s degree) onwards. 
(Note: The above is currently not applicable to Joint Degree Programmes (JDP).)

The e-degree scrolls and e-transcripts will be sent to graduates’ NUS Lifelong email account within TWO (2) weeks from their official date of graduation (conferment). The e-degree scroll and e-transcript will be withheld if there is a “Hold” on the graduate’s record.

Please refer to the e-Scrolls and e-Transcripts webpage for more details.

Note: Graduates will still be eligible to receive ONE (1) complimentary hard copy degree scroll and ONE (1) complimentary hard copy official transcript.


Please refer to the table below for the different collection eligibility and periods. You may wish to refer to the Graduation website ('Important Action/Information for CONFERRED/AWARDED STUDENTS' tab) for details on graduation (conferment). 

Note:
  • Your degree scroll will be withheld if there is a “Hold” on your record. You may log in to myEduRec to check for any “Hold(s)” and contact the relevant office to work out the necessary rectification.
  • You may still attend Commencement ceremonies even if you have collected the scroll earlier.
  • If your degree is a Joint Degree Programme (JDP), please contact the team at commencement@nus.edu.sg to check if the hard-copy scroll is ready before submitting request by courier or proceeding to book an appointment.

The University typically issues a Certification Letter (an official letter certifying that the student is a graduate of the University) in lieu of degree scroll replacement. There are no fees for letters. For information on certification letters, please refer to the Letters website.

Degree scrolls may be replaced on a case-by-case basis, and at a fee of S$87.20.
(Note: You may also be required to submit a 'Lost Property' (NP322) police report.)

Please write to commencement@nus.edu.sg with the following:

  • Official name graduated with,
  • Student ID,
  • Date of birth,
  • Degree title(s) and conferment (graduation) date, 
  • Replacement reasons.

The degree scroll reflects the following:

  • Student’s Official Name1
  • Degree Title
  • Primary Major2 only (if applicable)
  • Degree Classification (Honours) (if applicable)
  • Conferment Date3

Note1: The official name must be same as what is reflected on your NRIC or Passport at the time of conferment (graduation). Name changes must be carried out before you are officially conferred/awarded your degree as there are no amendments to the University’s records thereafter. Please refer to the Responsibility for Notices/Circulars and Updates of Personal Particulars website (see ‘Official Name’) and/or Graduation website (see ‘Important Information for GRADUATING Students’) for more details

Note2: Students who complete a Double Major, Specialization and/or Minor successfully will receive one degree scroll, for the Primary Major only. The Second Major, Specialization and/or Minor will, however, be recorded in the transcript. Please refer to the Double Major Programmes website for more details on Double Major.

Note3: Graduating students may complete their graduation requirements upon passing their final examinations but are only considered as “graduated” after they have been officially conferred their degrees. Please refer to the Graduation website (see ‘Types of Student Status’ and ‘Degree Conferment’) for more details.

There is only ONE (1) copy of the degree scroll issued per degree (please see ‘Can I get a replacement of my degree scroll?’ above).

One complimentary hard copy official transcript will be issued with the degree scroll. You may request for additional copies of the official transcript at a fee. Please refer to the Official Transcripts website for more details.
