Can't Attend Graduation - What Are The Next Steps?

Your graduation is a huge academic milestone, marking years of research and dedication to your field - yet sometimes life happens, and you can't attend your graduation day. If your institution is participating, you simply register here as graduating In Absentia, and your institution will then send your parchment directly to you.

Don't let your graduation parchment get lost - if you can't attend your graduation ceremony, Armstrong & Oxford can help get it delivered to you.

FAQs About Our Parchment Ordering Services

How do I know if my university or college offers this parchment ordering service?

The best way to find out if they use this service, is to check the graduation information you received from your institution, or check the graduation section of the institution's website and look for information for those who wish to graduate In Absentia.

What information will I need to order my parchment certificate?

Simply fill in the form above with your institution, event and degree. We will get in touch afterwards to sort out all the details.

How long will it take to receive my parchment certificate?

Processing times can vary depending on your university or college. Parchments are usually sent after your graduation date has passed.

Is there a difference between a parchment certificate and a graduation certificate?

Graduation certificates are typically printed on regular paper and serve as a commemorative document for the ceremony itself. Parchment certificates, on the other hand, are official and permanent versions of your degree, printed on high-quality parchment paper for a more prestigious look and increased durability.
