Not attending graduation?

If you are unable to be at the graduation on the 5th of July, there are a few alternatives to get your diploma. Read more about the different options below:

How to get your diploma

Usually, you receive your diploma during the Graduation ceremony. If you are unable to attend graduation below are the different ways to get your diploma.

Diplomas will be available after Monday 8 July. There are three ways you can get your diploma.  

You can come and pick up your diploma after July 5th. In case you choose this option, you will need to book a time-slot (Monday - Friday, between 10:00-16:00) for pick up at a later time by sending an e-mail to info@luc.leidenuniv.nl

You will have to bring your passport in order to confirm your identity, and you will have to sign for receipt of the diploma. 

Are you not in The Hague or the Netherlands anymore? If you choose this option, LUC will send the diploma to you by registered mail. You can submit your address in the survey. Diplomas can only be issued once, so by choosing this option you need to be aware of the risk that if your diploma is lost or damaged in the mail, Leiden University will not issue a replacement, and LUC is not liable for this. 

Another option is for LUC to keep your diploma for pick up later this year. In the meantime, you can request an extract from DUO with your DigID. This extract is accepted for registration in Master programs in the Netherlands, and abroad depending on the regulations of the program. https://duo.nl/particulier/extract-of-your-diploma.jsp.

Only in case a DUO extract is not sufficient, the Course Admin Team can provide a certified digital copy of the diploma documents on request.
