Does it mean 'you all know' here?

may you all know
Explanation:
'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'.

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