Replacement Paper Diploma
A paper diploma may be replaced in the event the original is lost, stolen, or damaged. To order a replacement paper diploma and/or a replacement cover, use the link below. Please note that processing and shipping times may vary and are dependent on the vendors. Please contact the Registrar's Office directly (registrar@grinnell.edu or 641-269-3450) if you wish to pursue an expedited order.
Please note that the replacement diploma will include "Reissue" on the document to indicate that it is a replacement and not the original.
Legacy Digital Diploma
The Registrar’s Office has always provided the option to replace a paper diploma and/or cover. Starting in January 2026 you also have the option of purchasing a digital copy of your diploma, referred to as a legacy digital credential. This option is available to all graduates prior to December 2025.
A validation code is provided with the purchase of the digital diploma, which can be used to validate the authenticity of this digital credential. This is particularly valuable to students with employers who view diplomas as the official document of completion.
