When people order one
A lost or damaged diploma, a diploma that needs the graduate's updated legal name, or an extra copy for a family member. A duplicate is printed identically to the original with a small “duplicate” notation on the back.
Name changes
A replacement diploma is issued in a graduate's current legal name on request with documentation; the transcript name updates separately and does not change automatically when the diploma does.
In and around Porter Falls
The Porter Student Help Desk in Founders Union 118 is the single place to start when it is not obvious which office owns a question.
The practical details
Order: Through the Registrar, by any alum. Cost: A flat replacement fee. Delivered: 6–8 weeks, from the same vendor that prints the originals. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Porter Student Help Desk (Founders Union, Room 118). Call (715) 555–0120 or email help@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
