      • Bachelor of Administrative Studies (BAS),
      • Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc),
      • Bachelor of Law (LLB) or
      • Master/Magisteriate of Arts (MA DEM).

Follow the steps below to make sure your diploma order is correct.

Step 1: Verify Your Name at York

Your full legal name, as shown on the Student Personal Information, is what is used on official University documents, such as transcripts and diplomas.

To make any changes to your official name, you must submit a Name Change form to the Registrar's Office along with the appropriate supporting documentation as outlined on the form.

For your correct name to appear on your diploma, the Name Change Form must be submitted to the Registrar's Office alongside with your request for reclassification and/or a duplicate diploma order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering Your Diploma/Certificate

I graduated from York more than a year ago and never picked up my diploma. What should I do?

If you graduated outside the timeframes shown above, you must request and pay for a new diploma or certificate. Follow the instructions in Step 1 and Step 2 on this page.

I'd like to change my degree designation (e.g. from BAS to BCom) and am about to order a diploma online. What should I know?

Alumni who elect to change their degree designation can expect the following:

  • A notation will be added to your academic record and transcript that the degree was renamed.
  • A new diploma with the designation will be issued to you using the diploma design and layout currently in effect; you may keep your original diploma.

How long will it take to receive a diploma replacement?

  • Once processed, it takes four to six weeks to receive your replacement diploma.
  • If you graduated prior to 1994, you should anticipate a longer turnaround time.

Please note: during busy and peak times, such as examination periods and convocation as well as University closures, processing times will increase. Questions regarding your application should be sent to Diploma Services.

What will happen if I ordered a replacement/duplicate diploma or diploma re-classification, but still owe fees to the University?

Your order will not be processed until you have cleared your outstanding balance or made financial arrangement for payments.
