Receipt of my diploma

Because I have my original diploma already in my possession, I will be handed a symbolic folder during the ceremony while my graduation photo is made.

As you want to come and collect my diploma personally at the Education Desk in the Law Faculty, please wait for confirmation from law-diploma@maastrichtuniversity.nl. They will inform you when your diploma is ready to collect during working days between 10 am. and 2 pm. Note that you will need to present a proof of identity. 

Please send the original diploma folder (free of charge) to the following address:

For the compulsory verification beforehand, you need to upload a secured scanned copy of your ID below. More information can be found at https://www.government.nl/topics/identity-fraud

We will send your diploma to the given address via registered mail and you will receive an email about the postal shipment.

If you would like to have your photo and/or a quote or personal note on the screen during the receipt of your diploma, please upload this below. 
It may be something personal, for example, about your experience at UM LAW, your future plans, your most memorable moment during your college years, or a teacher who had a special impact on you. 

Caps and Gowns
In recent years, our graduates have worn caps and gowns during graduation ceremonies. From a sustainability perspective it is not desirable to purchase these garments for just a few hours of wear. We would appreciate it if you would dress festively for this occasion, but you are of course free to decide for yourself what to wear.
In case you do want to by a cap and gown, you could use the link in the confirmation you will receive after you click submit. Deadline is June 7.

Deadline
In order to prepare the diploma's, we work with a deadline. Unfortunately, we cannot accept requests/changes after the deadline. 

QR Code & Identification
Upon entry, we ask you to show your personal QR code and a valid identity card (passport, identity card or residence permit). This is to ensure that the degree will be handed out to the rightful owner. 

Extra guests
We hope you can bring your loved ones to witness the presentation of your diploma. It is not possible to bring extra guests other than the maximum you have registered. 
Please do not send requests. With the current high number of graduates, fire safety and limited space for the reception afterwards, we cannot make exceptions. 

Photos 
Because we like to cherish good memories, the Faculty of Law will make photos which will be used on the UM website, alumnu wall, social media etc. You will receive a link afterwards to download your personal graduation photo. 
By participating in the graduation ceremony, you agree to this. 
We do not offer livestream for this event.

Parking
We recommend traveling by public transport. The location is a 25-minute walk from the railway station. However, if you use your own transport, we recommend to reserve a place in the Q-park garage onder het Vrijthof. Parking costs are at your own expense.

Thank you for registering.
After you click "submit", you will receive a confirmation. A few days before the ceremony you will receive another confirmation with more information and your QR code.
We are looking forward to see you in Maastricht!

Thank you.
