If your testamur is confirmed to have been destroyed by the University, or you’ve lost or damaged your testamur, you can apply for a replacement testamur. There is an administrative cost associated with replacing your testamur. You can order a replacement testamur in hard copy format, with or without a digital copy (additional charges may apply for digital).
This will be issued in the current testamur style at the time of purchase. The replacement testamur will have the words ‘This replacement testamur was issued at the request of the awardee’, the original graduation date and the replacement date.
