Replacement Diploma

Replacement Diploma Shipping Options
Standard orders and shipping may take up to 12 weeks after the order is placed to receive the new diploma.
Rush orders and shipping (additional $25.95) will be delivered within 10-20 business days.

Diploma Name
Your name will be printed on your diploma as indicated by your student record. If your name has changed, you will need to update your student record by completing a Name Change Application before your new name will be printed on your replacement diploma. Diploma names are subject to the diploma name policies on our website.

Certified Diploma Option
If you're ordering a replacement diploma where the diploma needs to be certified by a Registrar to prepare it for Apostille / Great Seal authentication, choose the "Certified Diploma" option when placing your order. This option should only be chosen if you intend to pursue an Apostille or Great Seal authentication and plan to use your diploma outside of the United States. There is no additional charge for this service. Diplomas that need to be certified must be shipped to UWG prior to shipping the diploma to the address you provide. This will extend the processing time (even if the rush option is chosen).

Students Who Graduated Before January 12th, 2005
The new diploma will be very similar to your original. Official signatures may differ from your original diploma. If you graduated from West Georgia College or State University of West Georgia, the diploma will have ”University of West Georgia” printed on it with a disclaimer stating that it replaces the one originally issued from West Georgia College or State University of West Georgia.
