The 214th Congregation Ceremony
Faculty of Architecture, HKU
Virtual Congregation
The Virtual format of the 214th Congregation will be held on 10 June 2025 (Tuesday), to provide an option for eligible graduands who have a genuine need for the early issuance of the graduation certificate (i.e. before the date of the in-person congregation) for the purpose of employment or further studies.
Eligible graduands may only choose to participate either in the Virtual format of the Congregation OR the In-Person format; they cannot attend both. Graduands who are not able to attend both the VIRTUAL and the IN-PERSON format Congregation will be conferred the degrees in absentia at the IN-PERSON format Congregation. The broadcast link for the Virtual Congregation will be shared with registered graduands at a later time.
