Graduate Request for a Gender-Neutral Diploma

Use this form to:

Request a gender-neutral diploma for a master's degree.

Deadlines to submit the form for your convocation ceremony:

  • Spring convocation – May 15
  • Fall convocation – October 1

Submission of this form confirms that you are choosing to receive a Magisteriate designation on your diploma instead of the Master's degree.

Important information

  • The term "Magisteriate" will only appear on your diploma. Transcripts and any degree verification will only refer to "Master". This terminology discrepancy between documents may result in border-crossing issues.
  • Request for a Replacement Diploma Form with associated fees will be required if you submit after the deadline.
  • Doctoral degrees are gender-neutral. The title "doctor" refers only to the academic or professional qualifications of the individual.
