Diploma
Making sure it's in the mail
SPOILER ALERT! Your diploma case will have something missing.
Diplomas are mailed to graduates a month or more after commencement. If you need a replacement, you can order a new one below. Looking for the original yet? The Student Services Center has more diploma information.
Your diploma will include:
- Your name as you confirmed on your graduation application
- The degree you earned (Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science, etc.)
- Any academic honors you earned
Majors and minors are not printed on diplomas. For students completing multiple majors that lead to different degrees, your degree is determined by your primary major. If you are not sure what your primary major is, contact your advisor. If you need a document that displays your majors(s), minor(s), and/or grade point average, please order your official transcript.
Reordering Your Diploma
Students will need to provide either their social security or student ID number to reorder a diploma. As both a physical and electronic copy will be sent to you, a valid email address is required.
