The university confers degrees three times each year:
- Summer degrees are conferred in late August.
- Fall degrees are conferred in late December.
- Spring degrees are conferred to coincide with the Spring university commencement ceremony.
ALL diplomas will be delivered in printed and digital versions. Diplomas for conferred students with no holds on their accounts from the Business Office and/or Financial Aid will typically be processed within 4 weeks of the end of the semester for summer and fall graduates and within 4 weeks of commencement for spring graduates. Students will receive their digital diploma via email and text at the time of processing, and printed diplomas will ship to the address provided on their graduation application 2 to 3 weeks later. Please inform the Office of Registration and Records of any changes to your diploma mailing address as soon as possible.
Important: Student account balances (including graduation fees) must be paid and all financial aid obligations must be met before any diplomas will be released.
