Diplomas

Replacement Diplomas
A new diploma may be ordered from the registrar’s office in situations where a graduate wishes to have more than one copy, in situations where the original diploma has been lost or damaged, or if the graduate’s name has been legally changed.
The reissued diploma will include a statement indicating the date the diploma was reissued. The new diploma will include the original degree earned, original major earned, and original conferral date, but the official signatures and name of the institution may be different from those on the original diploma. Please allow three to five weeks for the production of a duplicate diploma.
