The Office of Convocation will be closed for the Seasonal Holidays from December 21, 2023 to January 3, 2024. The last day to submit a Diploma Replacement request to ensure processing before this closure is December 14, 2023 at 4:30 p.m.

Anything ordered after this date until the office closes on December 20 will be processed in January.

If you are sending paperwork to our office during this closure, we recommend sending via regular postal service (eg. Canada Post).

Avoid delays!

Make sure your diploma replacement request includes all of the following:

a completed Request for LLB to JD Conversion order form with an original signature
your original LLB diploma
the appropriate fee(s) in the form of a Money Order, Bank Draft or Certified Cheque

Please Note: requests which are incomplete will be returned via Canada Post regular mail.

Cost: $150.00 CAD (includes taxes and shipping)

Please note that we can only accept cash, money order, bank draft, or certified cheque (not personal, corporate, or trust). Funds must be in Canadian Dollars and made payable to the University of Toronto.

You must return your original diploma to us along with your completed request forms. If your LL.B. parchment has been lost or destroyed, you must complete a Statutory Declaration to reflect the loss or destruction of your parchment (Please note: the Statutory Declaration must bear the signature of a Notary Public, whose notarial seal should be affixed. If the authority of the Notary is limited in duration or as to territory or purpose, a stamp must be affixed under his or her signature to indicate the limitation. Remote declarations will not be accepted.)
