I haven't received an email from them yet either. And when I sent them an email asking about the situation, they just replied they would update me soon.

This Facebook announcement is the first piece of information I've seen in regards of graduation so far.

Congratulations to all that have completed the course.

If you received this email, then yes, you have already graduated from IFUGAO and you have to attend the graduation ceremony on 13th of August.

I sent an e-mail politely declining the invitation. Too much distance for me to travel to Bangkok.

I was at last years too.  It was pretty hot in that room and it was a long day.  It wasn't a bad day as such but I'm not sure I'd make a special journey for it.  I had a 8-9hours round trip from Korat to BKK, only to find out later that it wasn't actually compulsory to attend.  

I knew that Thai people loved their ceremonies and a bit of dressing up but the Filipinos seem to like it even more.  For what is to all intents and purposes a glorified rubber stamp course, there was a lot of pomp and circumstance.  At one point I thought I was in the running for a nobel peace prize.  

There were a lot more graduates than I expected, I'd estimate over a thousand.

My grades were different on my transcripts and on Edmodo too.   Mostly because they just kept giving 100s on Edmodo probably...

TOR stands for transcript of records.
And the birth certificate is needed only for the Filipino students.

Mike123_ca wrote:I just received this letter from IFUGAO this morning 07.30.2017.
This request was sent to me and 56 other students.

Now I'm trying to understand what they want.

IFUGAO wants the following documents before the students can graduate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Transfer credential from latest school last attended.

I'm assuming they are requesting a university degree ans the transcripts.

2. TOR with remarks copy for IFSU.

Can someone explain what a TOR is?

3. Application for graduation.
I sent this in 6 weeks ago. I'll go find the old application and resubmit it.

4. 2 x 2 coloured picture.
I think this is a new requirement. I will e-mail ( and also EMS)  colour pictures.

5. Birth Certificate (PSA) photocopy.
This looks like a new requirement. Can anyone explain PSA?

6. Photocopied passport (for Thailand and Malaysia)
Do they want a copy of my passport?

7.Authenticated TOR and diploma (for foreign students)
I gave them an affidavit from my embassy stating my university is legitimate.

If someone can help me clarify what is required, it will be appreciated.
