Replacement Parchments

Regulation type
Section 2: Student Status

Royal Roads University will only issue one parchment to each graduate. In the event of a name change or a lost/stolen parchment, the Registrar’s Office will issue a reprint. A reprint is not a duplicate. Reprints are printed bearing current signatures and may be on different paper than originally issued. It will certify that you are a graduate and a notation will be included that it is a reprint.

A graduate must submit a written request and a signed statement indicating the reason for a replacement parchment. In the case of a name change, a copy of an official document verifying the name change must be submitted to the Registrar's Office along with the original parchment before a new one will be issued (see Parchment Name Standards for acceptable documentation). In the case of a damaged parchment, the original must be returned to the Registrar's Office before a new one will be issued. In the case of a lost/stolen parchment, a graduate must submit an affidavit for lost parchment form. The charge for reissuing a parchment is in accordance with the University's approved ancillary fees.
