Change of degree designation from Bachelor of Laws to Juris Doctor
About changing degree designation
The University of Manitoba Senate has approved the change in degree designation from "Bachelor of Laws" to "Juris Doctor" for any past recipients of the Bachelor of Laws degree.
The Replacement Parchment looks similar to the original, and the wording certifies that you have graduated, but it is NOT a duplicate of your original parchment. It will be printed on the same paper as current parchments are printed, including the University of Manitoba seal, using the same font as current original parchments use, in landscape format.
Your original parchment must be returned with your request, we can only receive original parchments by mail.
The fee for a Replacement Parchment is $81.25 and can take five to six business weeks. Fees are subject to change.
