may you all know
'Noveritis' seems jussive here. "May you all know that his Alma Mater, the University of Glasgow, has made its pupil XXX a Bachelor of Science, so that . . .". The tense is perfect subjunctive rather than present because '(g)noscere' has an inceptive meaning in the present system '('get to know, ascertain) but means 'have ascertained, know, recognise'.

may you all renew/ restore/ construct sth.
noveritis= 2 pl. coni. act. Lat. novo "renew, restore, construct, change"
Note from asker:
Thank you, but it seems to me conj. praes. act. from novo would be novaveritis and noveritis is fut. II ind. act. from nosco |

Reference:
My Latin is getting a bit rusty, but I am pretty sure this is from nosco = to know.
