OSU is not able to hold an in-person commencement ceremony for the 2020 graduates nor the upcoming 2021 graduates due to COVID-19 related restrictions on in-person gatherings. If you planned to obtain your diploma at the 2020 or 2021 ceremony, please see the directions below for how to obtain your diploma.

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.
  • 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 “Submit a Diploma Request” 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.

    If you graduated prior to Summer 2019, your diploma is likely in our office. **While the office operates remotely due to COVID-19, please contact [email protected] to schedule a pick up or visit the office during our drop-in hours on Wednesdays from 1-4pm PST.**

    You may come to 102 Kerr Administration Building on OSU’s Corvallis campus to pick up your degree; please bring photo ID with you. If you wish to have someone else pick it up for you, you may. You will need to fill out this form and have the person picking it up for you bring this form, along with their own photo ID that matches the name of the person picking up the diploma that you wrote on the form.

    If you graduated in Summer 2019 or a later term, the ability to order to pick up at the Office of the Registrar is temporarily suspended due to COVID-19.

     

    If you graduated prior to Summer 2019 when we switched to this new process, we likely still have your diploma and can mail it to you. To have it mailed to you, please fill out this form. The charge for this mailing will be $25 for those addresses in the U.S. and $40 for those international addresses. Alternatively, you may pick it up at the Office of the Registrar without any charge. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our office is working remotely. If you plan to pick it up, please email [email protected] to schedule an appointment to pick it up and bring photo ID or visit our office during our drop-in hours on Wednesdays from 1-4pm.

    The Office of the Registrar maintains thousands of diplomas never retrieved by graduates. By turning the diploma mailing process over to Michael Sutter Company, that already serves OSU by printing our diplomas, we streamline our internal processes and re-direct our resources toward serving current students.

    While the mailing of the original diploma doesn’t allow for shipping upgrades, a student can order a duplicate diploma even before the original has been mailed. This duplicate system allows for upgraded shipping, including overnight delivery.

    If you never picked up your diploma, you may either pick it up from our office in 102 Kerr Administration Building or you may request to have your diploma mailed using our diploma mailing request form. To order a duplicate diploma, please follow the process on ordering a duplicate diploma via Michael Sutter outlined above. Please note that our office is currently working remotely. If you wish to pick up your diploma, you need to email [email protected] to schedule a pick up time or come to the office during our drop-in hours on Wednesdays from 1-4pm PST.

    2021 graduates will receive a diploma cover in the mail likely before the virtual ceremony on June 12, 2021. Please be sure to update your current mailing address in MyOregonState.

    Due to the cancellation of the 2020 commencement ceremony, graduates were mailed a diploma cover, and we will do the same for 2021 graduates. If you graduated in any other year or need a replacement diploma cover, you can call the OSU Beaver Store at 541-737-0041 and order one over the phone.  The single diploma covers are $8.00 and the double degree covers are $10.00.  If you need to have one shipped, the OSU Beaver Store charges a flat rate of $6.00.

    Diploma covers aren't available online at this time, but the OSU Beaver Store will be more than happy to help you over the phone at 541-737-0041.

    Sure! We have a reference document here.
