Graduate with distinction

The designation Graduated with Distinction recognizes those university students who have maintained a high academic standard throughout their course of studies. This achievement will be included on your official student record and will show on an official transcript.

Visit Regulations and Policies, Graduated with Distinction for information on eligibility.  

Please note that UFV Outstanding Achievement Awards are not indicated on your academic record. Contact your department for more information pertaining to these recognition awards.

Graduation documents (parchments)

UFV awards a parchment — a certificate confirming your degree (and major if applicable), associate degree, diploma, certificate, etc — to every graduate.

The Office of the Registrar will contact you by email when your parchment is ready for pick up. If you are completing your program requirements in the winter semester we will prepare your parchment for pick up at Convocation.

Request for parchment reprints or replacement

If the parchment you were issued upon graduating has been lost/stolen, damaged, or if you had a legal name change, you may apply to have your parchment reprinted.

You may request only one copy of each credential. To apply for a replacement please review the requirements and submit a completed Parchment Replacement Request (pdf) to graduation@ufv.ca.

Note: Replacement parchments take approximately eight weeks to process. If you require proof of graduation immediately, you may request a transcript (pdf) or have the requestor contact Auradata for graduation verification.
