All diplomas are printed as portrait style. Undergraduate and graduate diplomas are 8 1/2 by 11 inches. The diplomas for the professional degrees (law, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy) are 13 by 17 inches.
Diplomas may be picked up in person beginning 40 days following the last final exam for the semester from the Administrative Center. An email with specific details about picking up diplomas and having them mailed will be emailed to graduates within a week of diplomas being available for pick up. Students must present photo identification to pick up their diplomas. Diplomas will be mailed to students upon request, using the address supplied on the application for graduation. You can update your address after you have submitted your application for graduation in Pathway via the personal information tile. Instructions for making updates can be found here.
Diplomas for the professional degrees (law, medicine, dentistry [DDS and Dental Hygiene], pharmacy and nursing [DNP only]) will be dispersed from the academic unit and not the Office of the Registrar.
For special delivery including overseas delivery, or if someone other than the student is going to pick up the diploma, contact the Office of the Registrar to make arrangements.
The student's last name, as it appears on the diploma, must correspond with the official, legal name on the academic record at the time diplomas are printed.
Replacement or duplicate diplomas are provided at $30 each and may take from four to six weeks to process. Replacement or duplicate diplomas are printed with current University officials' signatures, and University of Missouri-Kansas City appears even in those cases when the student graduated prior to the change from the University of Kansas City. To request a replacement or duplicate diploma, click on the link below and follow the steps to submit your order.
The name on record is what will be printed on the diploma. If your name has changed and you wish to have a new name reflected on your diploma, please provide a legible photocopy of your driver's license or Social Security card.
