All Â鶹ÊÓƵ graduates with no academic or financial holds on their student record will receive one diploma per degree earned. Diplomas are issued to graduates after the department completes the degree conferral process (awarding of a degree once it is determined a student has met all degree requirements for graduation). It typically takes two to six weeks for the degree conferral process; then, diplomas are mailed.
Original Paper Diploma
Initial diplomas are issued at no cost to students. Diplomas are not printed on-site and are mailed via USPS first class with no tracking available. Recent graduates, please note it may take two to eight weeks for your degree to be awarded, and then shipping will occur four weeks after the degree has been awarded by your college.

What appears on an Â鶹ÊÓƵ diploma:
An Â鶹ÊÓƵ diploma is customized to include a student's legal or preferred first name, legal last name, optional middle name or initial, suffix (e.g., Jr, II, III, etc.), degree earned (e.g., Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science, Applied Associate of Art), graduation date, and academic honors if eligible for undergraduate graduates only.
Diploma Delivery:
Â鶹ÊÓƵ has four graduation dates per year: May, August, December, and January. Diplomas are mailed approximately two to eight weeks after the actual graduation date because grades from a student's final semester must be evaluated by the student's assistant dean or department to assure that all degree requirements and financial obligations have been met.
