TIPS

  • Couriers cannot deliver to a P.O. Box
  • Include suite or unit numbers separately (eg. 100 University Avenue would be entered on line 1, and Suite 522 would be entered on line 2)
  • If your building requires couriers use a buzzer code to deliver packages, include it!
  • Include a valid, local telephone number in case the courier company requires more information to deliver. Your diploma will not ship without this!
  • An adult must be available to receive the delivery and sign (or to follow the protocol at the time of delivery set by the courier company)
  • Deliveries are made during regular business hours. Please check that the address selected meets this requirement
  • For addresses in Asia, please write your address in English in ACORN; for added assurance but optional, you can then email the Office of Convocation with the following information:
    • Your full name
    • Your student number
    • Your address written in English
    • Your address written in the language of the country where it will be delivered (Chinese, Korean, etc.)
    • A telephone number local to the delivery address

We will print the International address and affix it to your diploma envelope along with the English address.

Taking a few moments now to ensure your address is correct will prevent delays and surcharges once your diplomas has been shipped. Please see below for some samples of correctly entered addresses.
