The delivery of paper copies of degree certificates ends
An electronic degree certificate is an official certificate and its paper copy is not the equivalent of an official certificate. It is still possible to request a free printout for degrees completed by 31.7.2024. The printout must be ordered from by the end of July. The copy of the electronic diploma is printed on plain white copy paper and is not stamped, signed or certified.
Since the early days of the electronic degree certificates, the number of people requesting a printout has decreased, with around one in ten graduates currently requesting a printout.
Faculties will be able to distribute paper printouts to those who take part in graduation ceremony after 1 August 2024.
Re-delivery of electronic degree certificate will become chargeable
Re-delivery of electronic degree certificates and copies of degree certificates will become chargeable in the autumn. You can order a copy of your degree certificate, Open University Certificate, and studies completed with a separate study right for a fee. Those who have received an electronic degree certificate can also order a re-delivery of the certificate for a fee. The cost for a copy of the certificate and the re-delivery of the electronic degree certificates is €35. A more detailed timetable and ordering instructions will be announced in early autumn.
