Period 40 regarding Certificate of OBU

I presume you you are not in the UK?

Otherwise you would know that England has been in lockdown for most of the time since the transcripts were sent out and the University buildings were closed with everyone working from home and full-time students being taught online.

Against that backdrop the University administration is struggling to keep up with the day to day running as well as deal with their own issues regarding Covid restrictions by focusing on what is essential

Unfortunately for you, degree certificates do not fall into that category so you will just have to be patient. You will get your certificate when it can be sent and I doubt that anything can be done to hasten this. In the grand scheme of things it is not a priority whereas the health and safety of University staff and students is – sorry!

No, you don’t need to attend the ceremony, because it is just a way to celebrate your achievement and no certificate will be provided then.

The certificate will only be mailed to the address you provided to OBU.

I’ve also received the transcript and now waiting for the diploma to be sent.
I’m in the UK.

I received my transcripts in mid of December and the award letter itself on 3rd of January. I live in Saudi Arabia, so good timing of sending the documents despite UK being in Lockdown during those days.

For the Dubai graduations, things have gotten better in the Middle East especially in the GCC, so hoping for March/April graduation ceremony. Lets see.

I have received mine. I even plan on starting getting my degree attested to cover all aspects.
