If you graduate from The American University of Paris in the fall, you will receive your diploma during the graduation ceremony. If you graduate in the spring, we will send the diploma to your mailing address, so please make sure that your mailing information is up to date by updating your diploma mailing address online. Please note that if you have any outstanding monetary obligations to the University, you will not be able to receive your diploma until full payment has been made.
Your diploma is a valuable document and you should keep it safe. If you need to confirm your graduation – for a future employer or graduate university, for example – don’t send them your original diploma. Instead, request a graduation certificate. If you are a third party looking to confirm the degree of one of our students for a job or internship, please contact the Registrar’s Office directly.
Our diploma timeline helps you understand how and when your diploma will be delivered and what information you need to provide. Please read it carefully and do not hesitate to contact the Registrar's Office if you have any questions about your diploma.

When you graduate from AUP you may be asked by potential employers to prove that you earned a degree. Depending on the information that is requested, there are four different options:
The Registrar’s Office will then send your diploma to a notary in Dover, Delaware, where it will be notarized and forwarded to the Department of State.
Once the Delaware Department of State apostilles your diploma, it will be sent back to AUP.
The Registrar’s Office will then send both documents to your preferred address. The processing fee covers the administrative costs.
Please write to registrarofficeaup.edu with any queries. For mailing purposes, when submitting your request, please provide Andrew Tischler at atischler
aup.edu with the address where you would like your apostille sent, as well as your telephone number.
In case your diploma has been lost or damaged, you can request a duplicate diploma. Duplicate diplomas cost 60 euros and may take up to several weeks to receive.
