Ryerson University is still the official name of the University and the name under which we have the legal authority to grant degrees. Official documents, including graduation parchments, will continue to be issued using the official name Ryerson University.
We will provide regular updates to our community on the process, including decisions regarding degrees and certificates.
A graduation award document is an official university-issued document. As such, only one original award document may exist and it must reflect your true and correct personal legal/official name.
All reissued (Replacement or Amended) award documents will be produced using current Ryerson University graphics, printing standards and signatures. Graduates from Ryerson Polytechnic University, Ryerson Polytechnical Institute or Ryerson Institute of Technology will also have their graduation award document reissued under the name of Ryerson University.
Until the PDF file Ryerson University Act is amended by legislation (a process outside of the university’s control), all legally issued documents, including both new and reissued parchments, can only reflect the name “Ryerson University.”
Your name, as it appears on your official university student record, will be the name that will be printed onto your reissued award document. Please ensure your name is updated on your academic record prior to submitting your application. Should you wish to make changes to your name, please see Student ID and Personal Information , opens in new window .

As of January 1, 2020 and as part of the reissue process, Ryerson is pleased to provide you with the option to receive a gender neutral degree designation printed on your undergraduate or graduate degree award document.
What this means:
Instead of the standard nomenclature, you may elect to have your graduation award document produced/printed and reissued with the alternate language as noted here:
‘Baccalaureate’ instead of Bachelor (for Bachelor’s degrees)
‘Magisteriate’ instead of Master (for Master’s degrees)
‘Doctorate’ instead of Doctor (for Doctor’s degrees)
How to submit a request for a gender neutral reissued graduation award document:
Once you have submitted your Graduation Award Document Reissue Application, you must then
also send an email to
gradinfo@ryerson.ca
to request the gender neutral nomenclature option.
Please use the Subject: Request for Gender Neutral Degree
and state that you have submitted an application for a reissued graduation award document with the date of your submission.
Please note:
1.
Only one
graduation award document
will be printed
and released (i.e. either using the standard language or the gender neutral language).
2.
Only
the graduation award document will show the alternate degree designation – all other student records (i.e. official student transcript) will indicate the standard degree nomenclature.
