Diplomas and Duplicate Diplomas
Diploma information: size, covers and frames
Western Illinois University graduates will receive one complimentary 8.5" x 11" diploma printed
landscape format and will feature the signatures of current WIU administration and the embossed WIU
seal.
Diplomas are currently printed with degree name and major.
Minors are not printed on diplomas; however, minors are printed on transcripts.
If you have two majors, you will receive just one diploma. The diploma will show your degree
name as dictated by your first major and both major names, i.e.:
Bachelor of Science
Law Enforcement and Justice Administration
Political Science
Diploma covers are not delivered with the diploma. Diploma covers are presented to graduates
who physically attend Commencement ceremonies.
Diploma frames may be purchased through the
University Bookstore
or
the Alumni Association.
Diploma Delivery
When will I receive my diploma?
Students completing graduation requirements will be issued a diploma approximately six weeks
after the Commencement ceremony/graduation date.
Estimated mailing date for Spring graduates is mid-June.
Estimated mailing date for Summer graduates is mid-August.
Estimated mailing date for Fall graduates is mid-January.
Receiving My Diploma
You will receive your diploma by mail at the address you provided on your graduation application. If
you are unsure where you will be residing at delivery time, you may consider having your diploma
sent to a parent address. Your diploma mailing address may be viewed on your STARS address screen
under GRADUATION ADDRESS.
If you need to change your diploma address and it is before your degree is conferred, please
email your new diploma address to graduation@wiu.edu or submit a comment from your STARS account
and specify a DIPLOMA address update.
Diplomas are sent first-class mail via the United States Postal Service (USPS).
If it has been more than 6 weeks since your diploma should have arrived according to the
diploma delivery schedule, email your name, student identification number, mailing
address and telephone number to graduation@wiu.edu or call the Office of the Registrar
at (309)298-1891.
If your diploma has been sent to an incorrect address, it may be returned by the USPS to
our office. If it is returned, we will be happy to send it to your new address if you
contact us; otherwise we will hold it in our office.
Please note that diplomas will not be available to students who have encumbrances with the
University. All outstanding monetary obligations to the University and most other encumbrances must be
cleared before the diploma will be issued. If you have a financial encumbrance with the University,
please contact Billing and Receivables at (309)298-1831 or billings@wiu.edu for details. Once you have
cleared any encumbrances with the University, please notify the Office of the Registrar to arrange to
have your diploma mailed.
There are several possible reasons you may not receive your diploma:
You may have had a hold, such as an overdue balance.
Your diploma address may be incorrect.
You may have walked in the commencement ceremony but have yet to complete one or more degree
requirements. Contact your advisor or the Office of the Registrar for details.
Duplicate Diplomas

format on 8.5" x 11" stock paper.
All requests for duplicate/replacement diplomas are subject to approval from the Office of the
Registrar.
Diplomas will only be issued to the student who earned the degree.
Please allow 4 weeks for processing and mailing/delivery of duplicate diplomas.
If you would like a PDF copy of your diploma to be sent to you before your actual duplicate diploma

your written request and provide an email address where it should be sent
