Are photocopies of original documents sufficient or do the documents have to be certified?

It is a University requirement that the documents students supply for scholarship applications are authentic in order to maintain the integrity of the University's records and processes. For this reason, certified copies are required for all documentation included in a scholarship application.

A certified document is a photocopy taken of an original document that is then examined and signed by an authorised officer as a true representation of the original. The Scholarships Office are authorised to certify documents. Other approved certifiers available on campus are pharmacists, medical practitioners and optometrists. For the full list of authorised persons internal and external to the campus, please visit the Scholarships website.

Please note: Do not to hand in original documentation with your application, as it will not be returned.
