Jul 09, 2015
Peking University, July 2, 2015: On June 24, 2015, only a month away from graduates leaving school, Peking University graduation website “Graduation Station” (http://bye.pku.edu.cn) launched officially, along with the WeChat platform “farewell_PKU”. On July 3, the graduation system nicknamed as “graduate in one minute” also came up. This summer, PKU Intelligent Graduation System will facilitate every graduate’s procedures of leaving school.
Graduation Station Website
Graduation Station was launched in June 2014 and provides services related to graduation procedures. Until the end of 2014 graduation season, the website had had 60,000 views.
The Graduation Station 2015 has revised innovatively based on the feedbacks of graduates on three aspects including a new Graduation Calendar, four columns and website interaction with graduates.

The new Graduation Calendar 2015 allows graduates to search by “graduation events” and “date”. Graduates can click on respective issues in the column “Important Events” to know all the details. If graduates are often off campus due to internships, etc., they can search by “date”. Click on one particular date and graduation events on that day will pop out. Graduates can choose the day with the most issues they can handle and return to campus. It can save a lot of time for graduates if they make arrangements in advance.

Besides, the new website adds four columns as the core of information platform titled as “Ceremony”, “Notices”, “News” and “Events”.
What’s more, the new website pays attention to users’ interactive experience. Graduates can download graduation ceremony videos from the website. Also, near the end of graduation season, graduates can leave their wishes and words which will be posted randomly on the message board of the website.
Graduation System
“Graduate in one minute” system was launched in 2013. It helps graduates complete graduation procedures online. In 2015, Graduation System improves the accuracy of data and emphasizes the service quality. On one hand, the accuracy of inter-department data transmission has been improved, and the dates of graduation issues have been made clear. On the other hand, school has brought out the system one week earlier than previous years by working and collecting data more efficiently.
