After Commencement
Final Transcripts
The registrar will not be able to finalize (the degree, major, and honors) transcripts for graduating seniors until mid-June. If you request transcripts in June, please tell us to hold the request until the degree has been noted on the transcripts; transcripts sent in early June will not show your final degree.
Students who have not completed their graduation requirements will receive their diploma once all degree requirements are complete. When your requirements are complete and we have conferred your degree, we will have your diploma mailed to you.
If you are unable to attend Commencement, please contact the Office of the Registrar with contact and mailing information.
