Diplomas
How to obtain your original diploma:
Starting Summer 2019, original diplomas are mailed free of charge via USPS first class mail (standard delivery with no tracking). This service is provided by the Michael Sutter Company, our vendor that prints OSU diplomas.
- Once your final grades are recorded and your degree is awarded (see important graduation/diploma dates here), you will receive an email from [email protected] in your OSU email account.
- This email includes your Secure ID to order your diploma. Please save this email for any future diploma requests; you use the same Secure ID for every transaction.
- You will be able to designate your address and shipping type (standard - tracking not available / expedited - tracking available). It is recommended to ship internationally via expedited. International delivery may take up to two months or longer, depending on the recipient country.
- Within 9 business days after submitting your diploma order, the vendor mails your diploma at no charge to you. Please be aware that domestic delivery may take up to one month and international delivery may take up to two months.
- To pick up your diploma from the Office of the Registrar, check the "I would like to pickup my diploma instead" box instead of entering a mailing address. Once the diploma arrives in our office, we notify you via your OSU email address. **Please note: you may only pick it up at the Office of the Registrar on the OSU Corvallis campus during in-person service hours.**
How to order another (duplicate) diploma:
- Go to the OSU diploma vendor website. If you do not yet have a Secure ID then click on the “Request a Secure ID” button, complete the information, and then click on the “Submit My Diploma Request” button. We will process your request and then send you an email with your Secure ID allowing you to complete the process.
- If you already have your Secure ID then enter your OSU ID and Last Name, review your information, and then order your diploma.
- The charge for a duplicate diploma is $36.
- Choose your shipping method; shipping options start at $3.50.
- Two business days following your order submission, your duplicate diploma will be mailed.
Students who were confidential students and never revoked their confidentiality request will need to work with the Office of the Registrar in person to order a duplicate diploma if they have lost their Secure ID from Michael Sutter.
Duplicate diplomas are printed on current diploma stock, which is 8.5 x 11 inches.
How to order an eDiploma:
After you received your original diploma, you may order an eDiploma (PDF diploma).
These are available for a one-time $8 fee. You will log in the same way you would to order a duplicate diploma (directions above), so be sure to have your Secure ID. If you have not received one, you can request one by clicking the ‘Submit a Diploma Request’ link and providing the requested information.
Once on the ordering page, you will see a button that says ‘Order my eDiploma’ in the upper right-hand corner. Click that and follow the instructions. You will receive your certified eDiploma minutes after you place your order.
