For many City College of San Francisco (CCSF) graduates, losing a diploma isn’t just misplacing a document—it’s losing a symbol of the effort that went into earning their degree, especially for those who completed the Associate in Arts (AA) program.
Founded in 1935, CCSF is a leading public community college in San Francisco, accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WSCUC). It offers diverse academic options, with including arts & humanities, business & accounting, health sciences (nursing, dental assisting), STEM (math, computer science), criminal justice, and education—all designed for accessibility, transfer to four-year universities, or immediate career entry.
The Associate in Arts (AA) degree is CCSF’s most sought-after credential, detailed here for clarity: a 60-semester-unit program requiring a minimum 2.0 GPA, 12 residency units at CCSF, completion of general education requirements (English, math, science, humanities), U.S. history/government, and health & wellness coursework. It has two pathways: AA for Transfer (guaranteeing junior standing at California State Universities) and Traditional AA (for direct workforce entry), with popular majors like Liberal Arts, Communication Studies, and Ethnic Studies—focused on building critical thinking, communication, and foundational skills.
An official CCSF diploma (8.5”x11” standard size, ideal for framing) features key details: the college’s embossed seal, hand-signed signatures from the president and provost, your full legal name, degree type (e.g., Associate in Arts), specific major, official conferral date, and WSCUC accreditation mark. Replacements match the original design exactly, ensuring legal and professional recognition.
To replace your diploma, submit a duplicate request form (online or in-person), provide a valid government ID, and pay a small processing fee to the Registrar’s Office. Processing takes approximately 3 months, with diplomas mailed to your registered address—honoring the hard work behind your CCSF achievement.
