DIPLOMA REPLACEMENT
ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University will reissue diplomas for alumni who have lost or damaged a diploma, or those who have legally changed their names. Replacement diplomas follow the current diploma format.
They are printed with the original graduation date and the name of the student at the time of graduation, but with signatures of current University Officials. All replacement diplomas will have a Replacement notation at the bottom.
Please note that you cannot receive a replacement diploma if you have an outstanding balance due to the University.
Replacement Process
Step 1: Submit a notarized letter with the following information
- Name (first, middle, last as they appeared in the Commencement book)
- New legal name for Replacement Diploma (if applicable)
- Student ID or Social Security Number
- Graduation date
- Degree
- Honors received (if applicable)
- Current name
- Current address
- Daytime phone number
- Email address
- Your signature*
- Reason for need of a replacement
*All requests must have a notarized signature and therefore must be submitted in writing. If your original diploma has been damaged, or you are requesting a replacement due to a name change, your original diploma must be returned to the Office of the University Registrar so that it can be destroyed when the new diploma is issued.
Step 2: Include a check payable to ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University.
There is a standard and an expedited option.
- $50 – Standard Processing. Your diploma will arrive in 4-6 weeks from the time your request is received.
- $150 – Expedited Processing. Your diploma will arrive in 2 weeks from the time your request is received.
Please note that mail times are based on domestic delivery timeframes. International mail might take longer and depends on the destination country.
Online payment option is not available for diploma replacement requests.
Step 3: Mail your completed notarized letter and a check to the Registrar
