Frequently Asked Questions
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.
