Receiving Diplomas
Your complimentary diploma will be ordered approximately two weeks after your degree is conferred. Diplomas are mailed at no cost through USPS First-Class mail and do not include tracking.
When your diploma is ready to be printed and shipped, you will receive an email from our authorized diploma printer, Michael Sutter, requesting your current mailing address. To avoid any delays in receiving your diploma, please follow the instructions outlined in the email.
Look for an email with the subject line, “Your address is needed to mail your UO {degree type} Diploma.” The sender will appear as: “no reply” <updatediplomainfo@michaelsutter.com>. If you do not see the email, be sure to check your junk or spam folder.
The email was sent to either:
- your personal email, if we have one on file for you
- your UO email account
The email will also include your Secure ID, which is required for ordering your diplomas and eDiploma. Save this information, as you will use the same Secure ID for all future diploma requests. You will receive an email after your diploma has been shipped to the address that you provided.
If you would prefer to pick up your diploma at the Office of the Registrar, select “I would like to pick up my diploma instead” rather than entering your mailing address. Once your diploma arrives in our office, you will receive an email notification that it is available for pickup. Diplomas that are not picked up within ninety days will be destroyed.
Diplomas that are returned to the Office of the Registrar due to an undeliverable address will be held for ninety days. If diplomas are lost in the mail, students are responsible for ordering a new one. Students may order a replacement diploma or an eDiploma online.
Notarized Diplomas and Documents
Some students may wish to have their diplomas, transcripts, or other documents notarized by the Office of the Registrar. Students may request notary service for a $10 fee.
More information on notary services.
Authentication or Apostille
Students who need an Authentication or Apostille along with a notarized transcript, diploma, or other documents will need to complete the Request for Authentication form from the Oregon Secretary of State website. More information about the process is available through the Secretary of State's office or by contacting the Office of the Registrar at info@uoregon.College.
