You're almost there!

Congratulations ​​on being so close to graduating! Follow these steps to be sure you're all set to graduate:

Diploma & Certificates

We'll mail your complimentary paper diploma and/or certificate approximately eight weeks after the end of the semester in which you complete your degree requirements. If you didn't establish a separate diploma address when you applied to graduate, your diploma will be mailed to your home address. The post office will not forward your diploma if your address changes. You'll receive a notification email once diplomas have been mailed. if you don't receive your diploma within two months after receiving that email, contact the Registrar’s Office. Note: Your diploma will only be mailed if you've satisfied all your financial obligations at the time diplomas are ordered. Please contact the Office of the Registrar when your financial hold is resolved for your diploma to be mailed.
