Duplicate diploma

We offer two options to order duplicate diplomas:

Using your University of Waterloo username and password, log in to our online e-commerce Duplicate Diploma Request Form. If you are unable to log in to your account complete the Forgotten username and/or Forgotten password self-serve forms. If you are still unable to access your account connect with Service Desk to reset your password manually.
If you do not have a previous University of Waterloo username and password, complete our Duplicate Diploma Request Form (PDF). Submit the form by email to askthecentre@uwaterloo.ca or by mail to The Centre, University of Waterloo, Needles Hall South, 200 University Ave West, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1. Once you have submitted your form, please call our office at 519-888-4567, ext. 42268 to provide a credit card number. Cheques made payable to the University of Waterloo are also accepted.

Duplicate diplomas are identical to the original diploma, with the exception of the word "duplicate" which appears at the bottom of the document. You may order as many duplicate diplomas as you require.

Duplicate diploma requests are typically processed within five business days, plus delivery.

Gender neutral degree nomenclature

Gender-neutral degree nomenclature (Baccalaureate, Magisteriate): Graduates who have previously been awarded a UWaterloo degree may request that their degree be re-issued in the gender-neutral nomenclature.

Note: The gender-neutral term (Baccalaureate, Magisteriate) will only appear on your diploma. Transcripts and any degree verification will only refer to the traditional nomenclature (Bachelor, Master). This terminology discrepancy between documents may result in border-crossing issues.

Cash (in person)

DIPLOMA SIZE

Duplicate diplomas can only be ordered once a student convocates and has obtained an original copy of their diploma. Diplomas are produced in the current 15.5" X 10.5" size. Diplomas issued prior to 2011 were issued in a different size and that size cannot be replicated.

HAS YOUR NAME CHANGED?

If your name has changed since you attended Waterloo and you would like to have your current name appear on your duplicate diploma, do not proceed with the duplicate diploma request form. Instead, please submit:

a completed Change of Name Form along with supporting documentation, then
a Replacement Diploma Request Form.
