Samuel Merritt University now offers digital diplomas and certificates! These are certified electronic credentials known as a CeDiploma or CeCertificate (CeDiploma/CeCertificate)!

How to Re-order a Digital Diploma or Certificate

Diploma Re-order Form

Students have two options for re-ordering a diploma:

1. Any graduated student may re-order a paper diploma. 

2. Students whose degrees were posted prior to Spring 2022 may additionally or alternately order a legacy digital diploma. 

Diploma Re-order Fees

• The cost to re-order a paper diploma on current diploma cardstock is $26.

• The cost to re-order a legacy digital diploma is $63.90. This is because the electronic diploma must be created at the time of request since SMU did not start using digital diplomas until 2022.

• The cost for a digital diploma for degrees awarded on or after 4/1/2022 is $19.95.

Diploma re-orders are processes near the beginning of each month.

Diploma Re-order Timeline

• CeD-only orders are typically processed and released within 5 business days. During peak graduation season, however, processing may take up to the standard 6–10 business days.
• If an order includes both a CeD and printed records, the CeD will not be released until the printed copies have shipped. Once the order ships, the CeD is released—usually within a few hours, but it may take up to 24 hours. Students will receive two separate Enote notifications: one for the shipment of their printed diploma and another for the release of their CeD.
