The words duplicate copy or reissued will be affixed to all degree parchments, diplomas or certificates requested in this manner. These will bear the signatures of the current Chancellor, President and Vice-Chancellor and Registrar.

Please consult the Senate Policy on Duplicate and Replacement Parchments, Diplomas and Certificates Procedures (PDF document).
