All students receive a diploma upon graduating from American University Washington College of Law (“WCL”) as part of their tuition and fees. Alumni may order a replacement diploma as necessary. The cost for a replacement diploma is based on the costs assessed to WCL by the diploma processing company and vary greatly depending on the preferred shipping method.

To order a new diploma, please complete the form below. You may pay by credit card, check cashier’s check, or money order. Cash is not accepted and we cannot accept payments by phone. If you choose to pay by check, cashier’s check, or money order (made payable to American University), please select that option below and mail your payment to:

Sometimes employers and agencies request a diploma when they will instead accept a transcript. Because of the price differential, you should confirm whether a transcript will suffice. Order a transcript .
