Diploma Distribution
Diploma distribution information will be made available to each graduate by the University Registrar directly to your Drexel email account prior to Commencement. For specific diploma distribution inquiries, please call 215-991-8206.
Verifying
Check the spelling of your name on the diploma received. The diploma directly reflects information you provided on your degree application. Subsequent changes in your name are made only when legal proof supports your request. There is a cost of $50.00 for replacement diplomas and there is a waiting period of up to 30 days.
Copying Before Framing
Before you frame your diploma, find a business that can copy large documents and have several reduced copies made, especially for licensure purposes. Many states require exact copies of diplomas (reduced will do in many cases); please copy before lamination. Drexel University College of Medicine will provide an English version of your Latin diploma (medical degree only) but does not provide duplicate copies unless you can provide evidence (notarized) that the original has been destroyed.
Official Transcripts
Free official transcripts are provided to College of Medicine (and related program) students if a request is received prior to the date of Commencement. Those copies will be mailed out as soon as your degree is posted. Effective immediately after you graduate, the cost of a transcript is $6.00 per copy.
Withholding a Diploma
Your diploma will be withheld if any of the following issues have not been resolved by May 1, 2009:
• You have not filed an Application for Graduation
• You have not fulfilled all your academic obligations
• You owe a debt to the University bookstores

• You have not completed your exit interview
