Duplicates and Replacement Diplomas

Duplicates or replacement diplomas can be ordered of the following documents, provided there is an appropriate reason for doing so:

• Diploma
• Academic Record / Sheet with Grades
• Diploma Supplement

If the original document is copyable, it will be copied as it was archived. As a rule, the manual security elements such as signatures and/or seals are missing. The document will be noted that it is a duplicate as well it will be stamped and provided with an official signature.

Without a copyable original document, a transcript can be made in most cases. This will be produced in the current corporate design of the University of Zurich, marked as a transcript and provided with an official signature.

More extensive transcripts are charged on a time and material basis (CHF 80.00 per hour).

A final document can be replaced if there are important reasons justifying the change. Such reasons are in particular

• material errors found in the final record in question after the deadline set upon its issue

• changes to official documents owing to a change of gender

• a sexual identity which differs from that stated in official documents

Replacement documents are issued in the current corporate design of the University of Zurich and with the signatures of the persons who are currently in position. The new document bears a reference to the original document. The issuing requires the return of the original documents.
