Diploma Distribution

Effective June 1, 2010, functions related to the graduation clearance and academic records certification processes were transferred from the Office of the Secretary to the Office of the Registrar. The goal of the transfer was to align the University’s policies and practices with best-in-class standards.

The following processes are now in effect:

• Diplomas will be ordered after students have cleared financially and academically.
• Diplomas will no longer be distributed by the schools and colleges after the commencement ceremony.
• Diplomas will be mailed directly to students 30 to 45 days after the last day of the semester.
• Diplomas that are deemed undeliverable will be retained in the Office of the Registrar for a period of three years, after which they may be destroyed.
• Replacement diplomas shall carry all information contained on the original except that all signatories will be current administrators. Graduates requesting a replacement diploma will be subject to the current fee for such diplomas.

Please note all degree requirements and financial clearances must be completed before a diploma is mailed.
