Diploma Issue

Diplomas are mailed by the Wednesday after your degree was conferred.  If, after 15 business days from the date of the issuing of your diploma, your diploma has not arrived at its intended destination, notify the Graduation Office at (216) 687-3700 or at graduation@csuohio.edu. Notifications of non-receipt are accepted up to 60 days after your diploma has been issued. After 60 days, you must order a duplicate diploma. All notifications of non-receipt will be investigated. The Graduation Office reserves the right to refuse the complimentary re-issuing of a diploma.

Diplomas can also be re-issued if they are damaged or bent when delivered via mail.  If this is the case, Diplomas that have been mailed and are folded, torn, or destroyed, can be re-issued for free.  Student must produce the destructed document (deliver in-person to BH 116 Allin1 Enrollment Services office)  or take a photo and email  to the Registrar at graduation@csuohio.edu to have one re-issued. If you discard the diploma before taking a picture-- you must contact graduation@csuohio.edu within the time aforementioned to have it re-issued.
