At Graduate School, we constantly strive to enhance student experience and provide innovative solutions to meet the needs of students. We are excited to announce the launch of our new delivery method for collecting academic documents, the GS Smart Locker. Read on to discover the convenience and security that Smart Locker brings to our academic record delivery system.

 

Benefits of using Smart Locker

  1. Convenience & Flexibility: Smart Locker provides a 24/7 access solution with no extra delivery charge, allowing you to collect your academic records at your own convenience, even outside regular GS counter service hours.
  2. Contactless Delivery: With the Smart Locker, you can collect your documents without the need to have physical contact with anybody, ensuring your safety and well-being in pandemic seasons.
  3. Enhanced Security: Smart Locker is equipped with a robust access control system. To open the locker door, you need to enter a unique 6-digit passcode along with your student ID. This double-layered authentication ensures that only authorized individuals can access the locker and retrieve the documents. The Smart Locker area is also monitored by a CCTV system. This provides an additional layer of security.
