4 November 2021 saw the sixth batch of graduates celebrating the completion of their University programmes on their Graduation Day.

Under this arrangement, a total of 43 graduates attended the 90th Congregation (Conferment of Bachelor's Degrees) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong cum Graduation Ceremony of CW Chu College 2020–21. Live broadcast was arranged for the 60 guests, who were families and guests of the graduates. |
