The National Defense University understands that there are instances in which an alum loses his or her diploma or it is damaged. The EMSS office can create a duplicate diploma for an alum upon request. Because of the important significance a diploma carries, universities must be judicious in issuing duplicates. Requests for duplicates must be accompanied by a signed, written statement explaining the need. Please note that a duplicate diploma will include the word “EXEMPLUM” on it to indicate that the document is a copy. Fill out the form below completely and email it back to the EMSS office at university-registrar@ndu.edu. Duplicate diplomas will be mailed via USPS, please allow up to eight weeks for receipt.
