Order Your Diploma

The Office of the University Registrar automatically orders diplomas once degrees are conferred by the Academic Senate.

Diplomas are available for pick up at the Office of the University Registrar in 12 Mrak Hall, at no charge, approximately four months after the end of the quarter for which you filed to graduate.

Diploma Contents

The information on the diploma includs any and all applicable items:

• Student name (as specified by the student)
• College
• Major(s)
• Minor(s)
• Honors
• Degree
• Confirmation date
• Emphasis (for graduate diplomas only)

If there is a double major in cross colleges, there will be an original diploma for each college with the above mentioned information.

Diploma Hold

Your diploma will be held if there is an outstanding balance on your student account. Your diploma will be held until the outstanding balance is paid.

Mailing a Diploma

Domestic Mail. To have the undergraduate/graduate diploma mailed domestically there is a $5.50 charge. Professional (Law, Medicine, Vet Med) diplomas are $9.00.

International Mail. For international mail the charge is $14.00. Professional (Law, Medicine, Vet Med) diplomas are $14.50.

Diploma Retention and Replacement

The Office of the University Registrar will only retain diplomas on file for three years, after that time they are shredded.

Duplicate Diploma

If it has been longer than three years since your diploma was issued, or the original diploma was lost, stolen or damaged, you can order a duplicate diploma.

There is charge of $27.50 (includes postage) for undergraduate or graduate diplomas and $44.00 (includes postage) for professional diplomas.

Duplicate diplomas will state "Reissued” at the bottom of the diploma and the signatures may be different from the original. We can only provide current signatures.

Allow 6-8 week processing time for duplicate diploma orders.

Additional Diplomas

Only professional degrees are allowed to have more than one original diploma. Additional diplomas are not ordered for undergraduate or graduates without the “Reissued” statement. However, if you legally change your name, the Office of the University Registrar will re-issue the original diploma with the new name. Please note, though, that the signatures may be different.

You will need to provide the original diploma, a name change petition form, verification of the name change (e.g., marriage license, court order), and payment.

Allow 6-8 week processing time for additional diploma orders.
