After You Apply
The Office of the Registrar will review your EDP to verify that you have satisfied all requirements. Your degree or certificate will be officially awarded on the last date of the term for which you applied to graduate, and we will mail your diploma to the address indicated on your Graduation Application.
Diplomas are generally mailed within a month following the end of the term. Because of the large number of June graduates, diplomas for spring term may take up to two months. Diplomas are not given out at the Commencement ceremony.
Please note that we cannot issue your diploma if you have an outstanding balance with the Business Office, an overdue library book or a library fine. In addition, some graduate diplomas will not be released until the department receives your bound master's thesis.
