Rush orders, regular diploma pick up, and certified copy diploma orders at the Enrolment Services Advising Centre will not be available on Thurs, Nov 30, 2023.
You will receive your diploma at your in-person graduation ceremony. If you do not attend your ceremony, you can request to pick up your diploma afterwards at the Enrolment Services Advising Centre on the first floor of Brock Hall, or have it sent by courier. If you'd like it couriered, contact graduation@ubc.ca to enable courier payment in your Student Service Centre (SSC). Please include your full name and student number in the email.
The information on this page is for students who have already graduated and need a replacement or certified copy of their diploma. If you’re a UBC Okanagan student, please read information specific to your campus.
If you need a Program Completion Letter, download it from “Grades & Records” in your Student Service Centre (SSC).
A replacement diploma is an official reprint of your original UBC diploma. It will look almost exactly like an original diploma, with a notation that says “Replacement Diploma month/year” in small print along the front and bottom.
Rush orders are not available during May and November due to graduation, and in December over the holiday break.

For same-day orders, you must place the order in person at the Enrolment Services Advising Centre in Brock Hall before it closes. You'll receive your certified copy and original diploma returned immediately.
