Graduates at the University of Leeds are still waiting to receive their certificates three months after completing their degrees after the uni ran out of paper. University of Leeds alumni say they have been "let down" after missing out on jobs and postgraduate applications without their certificates. The Russel Group university says it had run out of the "right paper" to print the certificates due to "supplier issues".
Staff emailed students saying deliveries were taking longer than expected, adding that they may have to wait until March to get their documents. Felicity Harrison, 24, who graduated in December, said the university should be "ashamed".
Felicity told SWNS she missed out on opportunities and claimed that former students who graduated in July 2022 were still waiting for theirs. She said: "Since the delay on providing my graduation certificate, I can wholeheartedly say that I have never felt so personally let down and disappointed with an institution.
