In the case of an additional copy of your diploma for
legitimate professional purposes, a one-time request can be
made; complete the
Application
for Replacement Diploma
available on the Web or
at the Office of the University Registrar. Note that the new
diploma will have the notation "Duplicate Copy" in the
lower right corner of the diploma. This notation will
not be visible when the diploma is framed.
Please also note that diplomas are issued in the format
currently used and bear the signatures of the current
University officers.

the order to the printer, which will take 6 weeks to
process; we will then mail your diploma to you immediately.
CURRENT
STUDENT NAME CHANGE
Currently enrolled students may have the need to change the
name associated with their academic records to accurately
reflect the name by which they are known in the larger
world. Typical reasons for a name change include
marriage, divorce, naturalization, use of a variation of the
name etc. Former students may contact the
Alumni Relations Office.
If you have a legal name change and request a
diploma in that new name, your University of Richmond
records will be changed to reflect that new name. After the
University completes that step, your UR financial records, and your future academic
transcripts will carry that new name. In order to
effect a name change, you will need to complete a
Current Student
Name Change Form, provide acceptable documentation that shows
your new name.
