In addition to uploading scanned copies of the required certificate(s) and transcript(s) in support of the qualifications and results stated in your online application, you will need to upload all of the supporting documents specifically required for the programme to which you are applying. Failure to upload the supporting documents may affect your likelihood of admission or prolong the application process. If these documents are not in English or Chinese, you must provide officially translated documents in English; otherwise, your application may not be considered. Upon admission, you will need to ask each university you have attended (except for PolyU) and the relevant examination/test provider(s) to send your academic transcripts and certified copies of your academic certificate(s) and score report(s) directly to the University. Failure to do so or any discrepancies found may lead to the nullification of your admission offer and registration at the University.
If you have not yet received your results/transcript(s)/certificate(s) when you apply to PolyU, please indicate in your application the date on which they will be available. You should update your results and upload your final official transcript(s) and certificate(s) to your application once available.
Please ensure that your documents conform to the following specifications:
PDF format is preferred.
PDF files must not have a digital signature.
Do not include password protection, as it will prevent us from opening the file.
Scanning in 300 dpi resolution is recommended.
Scan in black and white.
Ensure that your full name appears on all uploaded documents.
All uploaded documents must be legible. Ensure that all critical and identifying marks and information are legible; for transcripts, these include the institution’s name and grading scheme, your name, the names of your programmes and the grades you have received.
Files may not exceed 5 MB (5,000 KB) each.
Page orientation: please make sure that the orientation of the scanned document matches that of the original. For example, transcripts that are printed vertically (portrait) should be scanned so that they appear in portrait format. Transcripts printed horizontally (landscape) should appear in landscape format.
Do not upload all of your supporting documents as one file! Each qualification/result selected for upload must match the document uploaded.
Create one single electronic file per checklist item per submission. If your document contains more than one page, please ensure that the pages are contained and uploaded within a single electronic file, and that the pages are in the correct order.
Preview your documents, because you will be unable to edit or delete them once they have been submitted. It may take a few seconds to upload your documents. Note that during busy periods the upload time may be considerably longer.
