Diploma Replacement Requests
A diploma replacement service is provided by the Office of Registration and Records for individuals who need to replace a lost or destroyed diploma or may need an additional diploma. The replacement cost is $25. Processing options and delivery timelines are outlined below.
Replacement diplomas are printed with the current template and administrators' signatures. Information printed on a diploma includes the preferred name on file, degree type, honors earned and conferral dates. As such, replacement or additional diplomas may not be an exact duplicate of the diploma originally issued.
Should a diploma be returned for an insufficient address, the Office of Registration and Records makes every attempt to obtain an updated address. When an updated address is not available, it is held in the Office of Registration and Records for one year, after which time a student will request a diploma replacement.
PLEASE NOTE: A diploma cannot be issued if you have a Past Due Balance or Student Finance Global hold on your account. Please note that if you do not contact the NDSU Office of Registration & Records after 30 days of the diploma request, your order will be canceled even if the Past Due Balance or Student Finance Global hold has been lifted. After the 30 days have lapsed you will need to place a new order for a diploma request. Payment is not processed until the diploma is ready to be mailed/shipped.
