Crossword Genius

Collected university certificate with marks on the side? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

graduated

This clue is a double definition.

'collected university certificate' is the first definition.
(university graduates collect degree certificates)

'with marks on the side?' is the second definition.
(as in a device marked with units of measurement)

(Other definitions for graduated that I've seen before include "Obtained a university degree" , "Received a degree" , "Successfully completed a degree course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
