This document presents the procedure of certificate collection. Prior to the days of issuing certificates and replacement certificates as specified in the schedule below; the confirmation of payment needs to be first forwarded to Finance department for clearance,
Tel: 031 907 717 / 7339, Email addresses: sboh@mut.ac.za, TFCele@mut.ac.za.
The clearance with Finance is for both Cash Payers and NSFAS funded graduates. This will allow Exams to prepare the certificate for issuing before the collector or graduate arrives. Thereby, ensuring effectiveness and efficiency in our customer service.
In cases where certificates are collected via a courier service, the confirmation of payment of fees also applies.
- Student card or Identity Document
- If the graduate requests someone else to collect on his/her behalf; the graduate needs to send an affidavit as a confirmation or consent that a particular person has been sent to collect on his or her behalf. This should include a certified copy of the graduate’s ID and original ID for someone collecting. This will ensure that the certificate is issued to the relevant person and will also ensure adherence to the POPI Act (Protection of Personal Information Act) requirements.
- Take note that upon collection the proof of payment may be required by Finance Department, if necessary.
