Receiving Your Diploma

Degree-Seeking Students

  

Delivery of Your Diploma

University of Illinois diplomas are 8.5 × 11 inches and sent by first-class mail to a student’s diploma address approximately 9 weeks after your conferral date. If you have not received your diploma within 9 weeks of the conferral date, please contact the Office of the Registrar.

Printed diplomas are delivered using the active Diploma Address, which must be created by the last day we award degrees for the term. If no active Diploma Address exists, the diploma will be delivered to your active Permanent Address. If no active Permanent Address exists, delivery will be attempted to your active Mailing Address.

  • Addresses can be updated in Student Self-Service (choose the Student Services card, then click on Update Personal Information). Any changes to the delivery address of the diploma after the last day degrees are awarded for the term should be reported to the Office of the Registrar. 

After mailing, if your diploma is returned to the Office of the Registrar, you will be responsible for providing a corrected address and paying for any forwarding mail charges as well as processing fees. If your diploma is not returned to the Office of the Registrar and 90 days have passed since the mailing date, you will be responsible for providing the correct address and paying for the cost of the replacement diploma.
