Diplomas

Please verify the spelling, capitalization, and punctuation of your name and the accuracy of the address where your diploma should be sent two months after graduation in the Student Administration System. For instructions, see Verify Diploma Name and Address on Graduation Status Page.

• Your Degree Name will be printed on the diploma. Degree Name must share the same last name as your Primary Name. Changes to last name require official documentation submitted to the Office of the Registrar.
• The diploma address is where diplomas will be mailed unless a separate Diploma Address has been designated. Diplomas are mailed approximately two months after graduation, so the address should be appropriate for that timeframe.

Diplomas reprinted due to incorrect name or improper address will incur a cost for replacement. Please note there may be implications if the name on your diploma differs from the name in your record, such as an inability to verify your degree, or change in licensure or VISA status.

Degrees are posted 1 to 6 weeks after your actual graduation date. Notification is sent via email once your record has been updated.

Diplomas are mailed approximately 8 to 12 weeks after your graduation date. For example, if you graduate in May, you can expect to receive your diploma between the middle and end of July. International shipping can take up to a month or longer.

Diplomas are produced by an off-campus commercial printer and mailed via first class mail to the address designated as your mailing/billing address unless a diploma mailing address has been declared. There is no tracking information for first class standard mail.
