Alumni who wish to obtain a replacement or duplicate copy of their diploma must submit the Diploma Replacement form through the main University Registrar with appropriate payment. Please note that the main University’s Office of the Registrar does not keep copies of diplomas on file. Replacement diplomas/certificates are ordered on or around the 15th of each month and there is a 4-6 week turnaround for them to be received from the printing company.
