Since it is impossible to identify with certainty by Commencement day the students who have completed all requirements, degrees are not posted until all final grades are received; then the diploma may be ordered. Diplomas are generally ready 7-9 weeks after grades are posted in your last term. The Registrar will mail your diploma once it is available. To avoid a delay in receiving your diploma, please notify the Registrar of any address changes by submitting the Diploma Request Form and submit to [email protected].
