The date for this Examination is announced within the first two weeks of the semester. Students completing degree requirements in the Fall, Spring, or either of the succeeding Summer sessions must sit for the Examination scheduled in the Spring semester.

The name that appears on a student’s diploma will be consistent with the name that appears in the student’s file upon admission and is corroborated by a passport or identity card.
Diploma Replacement

The reverse side of the duplicate diploma will be stamped with the words, “Duplicate issued on MM/DD/YY to replace lost/destroyed original diploma.” In order to receive this duplicate, graduates must fill a Diploma Request Form available online and pay the university’s diploma fee.
Attestation of Diplomas
The Office of the Registrar is responsible for processing the issuance of all diplomas and transcripts for attestation by the U.A.E. Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Obtaining the actual attestation is the student’s responsibility.
