Replacement or Duplicate Diplomas

You may request, in writing, a duplicate diploma to replace an original that has been lost or damaged, to reflect a legal name change, or to have more than one copy to display. The duplicate will carry the signatures of the officials in office at the time of reissue and will display the following statement on its face: "Duplicate”

The cost for each duplicate diploma or certificate is $30. We accept check or credit card. The credit card information we will need is as follows: Name on the card, Credit Card number, three digit Security code (from the back of the card), and the address the card is billed to. Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing.

To request a duplicate diploma or certificate, submit a letter to the Office of the Registrar including the following:

  • Name and address to which the replacement diploma should be mailed
  • Name under which you attended (if different)
  • Current phone number and email
  • Approximate graduation date
  • Degree and major
  • Your signature and the date
  • Enclosed check or credit card information for $30

If you are requesting your diploma to be sent outside the United States, please contact us at bcregistrar@benedictine.edu for information about shipping costs.

If requesting a name change, you must additionally submit appropriate documentation.  A copy of any one of the following may serve as documentation:

  • Current driver's license
  • Social Security card
  • Court order
  • Marriage license
  • Dissolution decree
  • Current passport
  • Official proof of identity, certified by U.S. embassy abroad or by appropriate foreign embassy in the U.S.
