How To Obtain Your Diploma
Diplomas and certificates are available eight to twelve weeks after the end of the academic term in which you graduated. You will be notified when diplomas are available. You can pick up your diploma or certificate in person, or we can mail it to you. The university cannot guarantee availability of diplomas or certificates that have not been claimed within three years.
If we mail your diploma or certificate and it is returned as undeliverable, the fee to mail it again will be $25. Our office will replace diplomas and certificates free of charge only if you contact us with two weeks of receipt for damage or six months of shipment for non-delivery. Beyond these time periods, our standard fees for diploma reissue and mailing will apply.
In Person
Please bring a picture ID to MU-200W on the Parnassus campus (on the 2nd floor of Millberry Union, next to the library). Our hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. & 3 p.m. – 5 p.m.
3rd Party Pickup

We ship diplomas destined to U.S. addresses by U.S. Postal Service First-Class Mail. A signature will be required upon delivery.
If we mail your diploma and it is returned as undeliverable, the fee to mail it again will be $25.
