Diplomas

Diploma Distribution

Diplomas are available approximately two months after each semester/term concludes. The Office of the Registrar mails, upon completion of degree requirements, one complimentary diploma. Diplomas are mailed to the address provided at the time the student applied to graduate. Diplomas are not issued if the student has outstanding financial obligations to the University.

Diploma Replacement

A diploma is replaced providing a request is made in writing. The Diploma Replacement request is located at www.washburn.edu/registrar. The replacement processing fee is $30.

Diploma Designations

Majors and minors are not designated on the diploma; however, they are reflected on the transcript. If a student adds a major/minor to a degree after the diploma is issued, the additional designation will be reflected on the transcript. An additional diploma will not be issued. Only Latin honors (Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Cum Laude) are designated on bachelor degree diplomas. In addition to Latin Honors, Stoffer Honors, Departmental and School Honors, University Honors and Bonner Scholar honors are only posted on the transcript.
