Diploma Replacement/Duplicate Policy

Drexel University will reissue diplomas for alumni who have lost or damaged a diploma. All new diplomas will be issued by Drexel University and have an embossed statement at the bottom of the diploma to verify that it replaces a diploma previously issued. It will not be an exact duplicate of the original diploma.

You cannot receive a replacement/duplicate diploma if you have an outstanding balance due to the University.

• The name on the replacement/duplicate diploma must match the name listed on the original diploma issued. If you wish to change the name on your replacement/duplicate request you must email the Office of University Registrar before placing your order.
• You may only have one replacement/duplicate diploma for each credential conferred at Drexel University
• Only students are authorized to order a replacement/duplicate diploma for themselves. Others are not permitted to order a replacement/duplicate diploma on their behalf.
• Any student who graduated from Drexel Institute of Technology, Medical College of Pennsylvania, Hahnemann Medical College, Women’s Medical College, MCP Hahnemann University or Allegheny will have the following message printed at the bottom of their diploma “This diploma is a duplicate of the original diploma which was conferred on (date of conferral) by the Drexel Institute of Technology” (the name of the institution from which you graduated).
• Drexel University graduates will have the following message printed at the bottom of their diploma: “This diploma is a duplicate of the original diploma which was conferred on (date of conferral) by Drexel University.”
• Replacement/duplicate diplomas display the signature of current officials but show the original conferral date.
• Processing time for replacement/duplicate diplomas is 4-5 weeks.

Replacement/duplicate diplomas may be ordered through our Credential Request portal and mailed directly from the vendor to you using United States Postal Service (for domestic shipping) and UPS (for expedited shipping).
