COMMUNIQUÉ FROM THE OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR
DIGITAL CERTIFICATES WEB – eCertificates and eAcademic Transcripts
NOTICE TO THE SPRING 2021 GRADUATES
Dear 2021 Graduates, Staff and Students,
Congratulations on your achievement. We take great pride in the completion of your studies, despite all the trials and tribulations of the COVID-19 pandemic and the complexities of the 2021 academic year.
We are pleased to inform you that the Digital Certificates Web will go live on Wednesday 24 November 2021 at 16h00.
Every graduate will receive an email from UKZN advising them to access their digital documents, as the system ‘downloads’ the relevant documents on Wednesday 24 November 2021. Graduates who are yet to receive their email, may access the system using Google Chrome on https://e-certification.ukzn.ac.za after 16h00 on Wednesday 24 November 2021.
Please see user guides attached.
If you have already registered on the system, you will need to delete this registration prior to your virtual ceremony, otherwise you will not be able to access your documents, and a ‘pending’ message will reflect and you will need to contact the help line for assistance.
Please do not try and register on the system before you receive your email to access your digital documents and/or on Wednesday 24 November 2021 @ 16h00 as noted above, as the email address you use to register will then get ‘stuck’, and you will be required to use another email address to register afresh on the system. There is no advantage in trying to beat the rush before the publication of the certificates.
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE NOTES:
- https://e-certification.ukzn.ac.za via Google Chrome
HELP LINE / QUERIES
Queries (with the exception of fees queries) to be directed to eCertificationadmin@ukzn.ac.za Please remember to include your student number in the subject line and body of the email, and clearly state the issue you are having. Please do not send repeated emails, and do not use any other email address for your query.
SHARING YOUR DOCUMENTS WITH THIRD PARTIES (Employers, family members etc.)
The link https://verification.ukzn.ac.za provides access to a third party to view and verify eCertificates. Please see User guide attached.
Your certificate can be shared with up to three contacts (and contacts can be added and removed). A built-in safety feature is that when you withdraw a contact’s right to view your e-certificate, they no longer have access to it.
