Each semester GSW provides current term graduates with one official diploma in addition to a digital diploma. All diplomas are shipped directly to the graduate through Parchment regardless of ceremony participation. Shipping time for official diplomas is 6-8 weeks after completion of the final semester.

Replacement Diplomas

GSW has partnered with Parchment to provide online diploma replacement ordering, which includes:

• Faster processing and delivery
• Order tracking
• Cost: $50.00 per replacement diploma
• Processing Time: 5 business days. Processing time may be extended during the weeks immediately surrounding graduation. 
• All diplomas are shipped via USPS unless expedited service is requested.

If you don’t have a Parchment account, you will need to create one using your personal email address. All communications and digital diploma access will be sent to that email. You will receive status updates from Parchment, or you can check your order status online.

Note: To better serve our graduates, GSW may choose to fulfill some replacement diploma requests directly from campus. Digital diplomas will not be available for orders fulfilled outside of Parchment. All replacement diploma requests must be submitted online through Parchment. GSW does not accept in-person replacement diploma requests.

• Email gswreg@gsw.edu to request notary services.
  • Please include any requests for additional letters or documentation.
  • Attach any supplemental paperwork requested by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (Apostille) or the Georgia Secretary of State (Great Seal).
  • Documents are shipped standard USPS unless a pre-paid shipment label is provided.
• Standard diploma and transcript charges apply.
• Estimated processing time is 2 weeks. Special requests may experience extended processing times.

Note: Requirements for Apostille, Great Seal, notarization, and other international document certifications vary by country and by the organization requesting your documents. Before ordering transcripts, diplomas, or other records, please confirm the required certification with the receiving institution or agency. The Office of the Registrar provides document preparation assistance as a service to GSW students and alumni but is not responsible for verifying the specific document requirements established by the receiving institution, employer, licensing authority, or government agency before submitting a request. The university cannot guarantee acceptance of documents by third parties.
