Registrar

Diplomas are mailed through regular mail at no charge unless you specify another method of delivery.

Diplomas can be sent by priority post. For this service a civic address and telephone number are required. The courier fee is charged to the student (credit card number must be provided).  Fees are based on the destination.

Picking up Diplomas

Diplomas can be picked up

• Spring - the day after the final convocation ceremony.
• Fall - the day after Senate approves the graduates at their October meeting.

Pick up by graduate - An ID and a signature is required at the time of pickup.

Pickup by third party - Permission must be granted in writing by the graduate for third party pickups. The name of the designate must be included; ID and signature are required at time of pickup. 

Diplomas are held for about two weeks. At that time they are sorted alphabetically and mailed. It is very important we have your correct address and email information.

Requests for additional diplomas may be submitted using this form, or be in writing and include your signature and the following information:

• full name
• date of graduation
• degree received
• full mailing address where the replacement is to be sent
• payment of $50

You may fax this information to our officeat 902-585-1081. Requests take between four to six weeks to be processed. We do not accept requests from a third party.
