Although graduates can apply for a diploma with the same effect as the diploma from the university where they graduated, they can only get the diploma and cannot reissue it. The education department has explicit provisions on this.

After the graduation certificate is lost, you can issue a "graduation certificate" and "education certificate" to the original graduation university. According to Article 39 of the Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities (Order No.21of the Ministry of Education in 2005): "If graduation certificates, degree certificates and degree certificates are lost or damaged, the school shall issue corresponding certificates upon my application and verification. The certificate has the same effect as the original certificate. "

Extended data:

Each student's degree certificate and diploma have a unique number, and there is a clear correspondence between the double certificate and the number. Students' academic qualifications, graduation information and double certificate number are uploaded to the National Academic Certification Center. If the diploma can be reissued after it is lost, it means that the same number corresponds to two or more diplomas, so it is difficult to identify the authenticity, so there are huge loopholes in management.

In addition, there are still technical and procedural restrictions on the re-issuance of diplomas. After the loss of students' diplomas, some schools merged with other universities, and some schools were renamed, which made it more difficult to reissue diplomas. At the same time, due to the limited term of office of each president in colleges and universities, most of the necessary principals' signatures and seals in the original certificate cannot be copied, and the procedure is difficult to realize.
