This information is only required if you're ordering for a previous graduation year. Many schools change their diploma size over time, so we ask for this to be sure that we correctly size the frame based on the year in which you graduated.

No measuring required for our officially licensed frames—we already know the frame size you need for your Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD degrees! We’ve built an extensive database containing the exact diploma and degree and certificate dimensions for thousands of colleges, universities, honor societies, Greek organizations, professional associations, and academic institutions across the nation. The only thing we do require is the year in which your diploma or certificate was issued, since institutions may change document sizes over time.

If, however, you don’t see your institution listed or want to design your own frame, you will need to provide your actual document size and the printed area size to help us configure the frame dimensions. “Actual document size” is the overall physical size of your document, while "printed area size" is where the printed text or image begins to where it ends. To get the printed size area, you must measure from the top of the highest lettering to the bottom of the lowest image (usually the seal or signature) and the same applies to the lettering from left to right. This ensures a perfect fit for your document.
