Replacement Diplomas

Find out how to order a replacement diploma.

A replacement diploma may be requested if your original diploma has been lost or destroyed, or if your name has changed since graduation. The document fee, effective September 1, 2016, entitles students to one free replacement diploma, including the cost of standard shipping. To find out if you qualify for a free replacement diploma, call (858) 534-3144 or email academicrecords@ucsd.edu.

To obtain a replacement diploma, place your order via our E-Market for Replacement Diploma. Please note that there is a 2.75% service fee* for all E-Market orders that require a payment. We accept the following Credit Cards:

All replacement diplomas will bear the signatures of the current state and university officials, and a reissue date will be printed at the bottom of the diploma.

If your name has changed since graduation, you must update either your legal or lived name prior to placing your replacement diploma order. To update your legal name, submit a Request for Name Change along with the required supporting documents. To update your lived name, please use the Social Identities Tool. Once processed, your updated name will be printed on the replacement diploma and in all UC San Diego records.
