Replacement or Duplicate Diplomas

You may request, in writing, a duplicate diploma to replace an original that has been lost or damaged, to reflect a legal name change, or to have more than one copy to display. The duplicate will carry the signatures of the officials in office at the time of reissue and will display the following statement on its face: “Duplicate”

The cost for each duplicate diploma or certificate is $30. We accept check or credit card. The credit card information we will need is as follows: Name on the card, Credit Card number, three digit Security code (from the back of the card), and the address the card is billed to. Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing.

Name and address to which the replacement diploma should be mailed

Degree and major
