Diploma Distribution

All students who attend the Commencement ceremony will be given a blank diploma cover as they walk across the stage. The actual diploma (to be inserted into the diploma cover) is distributed as follows:

  • May graduates: Mid June we will invite May graduates to pick up their diploma on campus in our office. Any diplomas not picked up by the end of June will be mailed out in early July. (to the address the student indicated on the completed Application for Degree form)
  • January graduates: Diplomas will be sent (to the address the student indicated on the completed Application for Degree form) by the end of March of the graduation year.
  • September graduates: Diplomas will be sent (to the address the student indicated on the completed Application for Degree form) by early December of the graduation year.

Your diploma will reflect:

  • Your name as you listed it on your Application for Degree form
  • The degree earned (Bachelor of Arts; Bachelor of Fine Arts; Bachelor of Science; Master of Science; Master of Social Work; Doctor of Nursing Practice; Doctor of Physical Therapy; etc.)
  • The major title (Only the primary major will be listed for those with double majors; the secondary major will be reflected on the academic transcript but not the diploma.)
  • Commencement Honors achieved for Undergraduate degrees (Summa Cum Laude; Magna Cum Laude; Cum Laude)
  • If you completed an honors degree program: Honors Program distinction

Your diploma will not reflect:

  • Specialization (a chosen academic track within an academic major)
  • Certificate(s)
  • Minor(s)
