Diplomas
Diplomas are awarded by William & Mary at the completion of the degree requirements.
The diploma will be mailed in the weeks following degree conferral to the mailing address on record, or to the dedicated diploma mailing address you have provided.
Request a Replacement Diploma
Students can request a printed replacement diploma or a CeDiploma (Certified Electronic Diploma) through our trusted partner, CeCredential Trust. If you require both a paper and electronic diploma, you must purchase both products separately.
To request a replacement, please visit Order My Replacement Diploma (link).
Note: Only the student may request a replacement diploma; verification of your identity may be required.
Once a request is received, students will be notified via email if it has been approved or denied. If the request is approved, we will place an order for that diploma.
Your replacement diploma will be created with your legal name (first, middle, last, suffix) on record at the time of graduation. If you would like to change the name listed on your diploma, please submit legal documentation of your current name (i.e. driver’s license, marriage certificate, etc.) to degreeaudit@wm.edu.
Processing Time
Requests for replacement diplomas are fulfilled in approximately six to ten weeks. If the mailing address is international, then the process may take longer.
Requests for CeDiplomas are processed within two to three weeks.
