Diploma and certificate information

Diplomas

Each graduate is presented with a diploma cover during the Commencement ceremony to mark the occasion. Bachelor's and master's diplomas are mailed after the Commencement ceremony. Ph.D./Ed.D. candidates are presented with their diplomas at the ceremony.

Your academic record shows your graduation date as soon as your degree has been certified. If you have questions about the status of your diploma, call your school or college advisor or the Office of the Registrar. Walking in Commencement does not constitute graduation. Check with your school or college to confirm that you have met all graduation requirements.

Diplomas and certificates will be mailed within six weeks after certification.
