The registrar's office provides a replacement diploma that bears the most recent commencement date and the signatures of the current college officials when a diploma has been lost or damaged. The following sentence appears on the bottom of the diploma to indicate that it is a replacement: "This diploma is issued in place of one granted (month, date, year)."

To order a replacement diploma, the graduate should submit the following information:

1. Graduate's full name exactly as it appears on the original diploma.
2. The degree received (B.A. or B.S.) and honors if applicable.
3. Month and year of graduation.
4. Statement of the reason for a replacement request.
5. Graduate's social security number.
6. Mailing address and daytime telephone number.

A request for a replacement diploma must be signed by the graduate and the signature must be notarized. The cost of a replacement diploma is $25.00. Replacement diplomas take eight to twelve weeks to produce.
