No DigiD and/or diploma obtained before 1 January 1996
If you do not have DigiD, or if you obtained your degree before January 1, 1996, please contact the Student Desk to request a graduation statement and transcript of records.
PhD certificate
The VU does not provide a written copy of a PhD degree certificate. However, it is possible to request a statement. Please contact the Beadle Office at pedel@vu.nl.
Graduation statement
A graduation statement is used to show that you have graduated if you have lost or have not yet been handed your diploma. A graduation certificate is not the same as a diploma.
You can only request a graduation statement after Study and Student Administration has communicated your graduation date to DUO. You will receive an e-mail message about this at that time. You can also check this in Studielink. Once the graduation date has been submitted, you will see a diploma date under 'My previous studies'.
Requesting a grade list
As long as you are still registered as a student, you can request a grade list yourself as a PDF or Excel file or as a certified copy through the Student Desk. Please check your results first.
If you are no longer registered as a student, please contact the Student Desk.
