There are many online frame companies offering you "college diploma frames", but are they really offering you the same diploma frames that are offered on the campuses of the graduates for whom you are buying a gift? College bookstores, alumni organizations and other official campus resources offer frames that have the school name imprinted on the mat board. In most cases a college logo or official school seal is also imprinted on the mat board. This is an Official Diploma Frame. Many framers online suggest they are offering you a custom imprinted frame by having a list of all of the colleges and universities in North America on their site, and yet they do not print these names on the mat board, like an Official Diploma Frame would do for you.

Diploma frames which are officially licensed by the colleges and universities, buy a royalty fee to the college which directs funds to the campus to help with scholarship and other campus wide needs. Frame companies who do not imprint, send no money back to the campus.

Diploma frame companies who offer officially licensed product have gone through a financial and quality review process, adding an extra dimension of security to your online purchase.

Look at the ship time time involved in your frame purchase. University Frames offers 1 to 2 week shipping. Others are 3 to 4 weeks and even 6 to 8 weeks lead time.

We also offer non-imprinted frames if that is what you prefer or what your budget has in mind. These are listed in our school's list with a blue font. If your school is listed with a blue font and you want the imprint, the chances are we are just not licensed with the college yet. Call our customer service department, toll free, and we will tell you if licensing can be arranged.

You can depend on a quality, officially licensed diploma frames from University Frames. The exact frames that are sold on campuses across the country. We sell to hundreds of campus stores, alumni and commencement offices in the USA. Don't be fooled by look-alikes. We are the real thing.
