Your diploma is the formal proof of your achievement. Congratulations with this important milestone! Depending on your graduation date, there are several options to collect your diploma.
In The Netherlands, diploma's are printed at a centralized facility. After we have processed your last grade, it takes at least four weeks before we receive the diploma. Once we receive it, we notify you by mail.
