Replacement Diplomas

If you are requesting a replacement diploma only as confirmation of graduation, you may be better served by requesting a degree verification letter.

Often °Ä²Ê¿ª½±'s diploma is not sufficient for confirmation of graduation as it is printed in Latin and only the graduation year appears. A degree verification letter can be provided with more critical information (dates of attendance, graduation date, etc.). Also, degree verification letters can be processed in 2-4 business days, whereas a replacement diploma will take several weeks. 

To obtain a replacement diploma, please print the Replacement Diploma Request Form.

You must pay online for the replacement diploma by using °Ä²Ê¿ª½±'s . Your request and online payment must be received before your diploma order can be processed. The registrar's office will receive confirmation once your payment has been made.   

  • Standard (domestic mailing) fee is $10 (3-4 weeks for delivery)
  • Rush-service (domestic mailing) fee is $30 (2-3 weeks delivery)
  • International mailing fee is $70 (delivery times vary by destination)
