Diplomas at Graduation

All diplomas and certificates are mailed to students' HOME/PERMANENT addresses as recorded in Self-Service Banner (SSB). Students must check their addresses in SSB to verify the accuracy of the address information. If the diploma should be mailed to an alternate address, students must use Self-Service Banner to add a DIPLOMA address.

International Students: Be certain to check the home/permanent address on record, since this is the address to which the diploma will be mailed. If the diploma should be mailed to a different location, students must use Self-Service Banner to add a diploma address. Finally, if an international student has no HOME/PERMANENT or DIPLOMA address, the diploma will be mailed to the FOREIGN address as recorded in Self-Service Banner.

All addresses must be verified no later than the official graduation date.Should a diploma be returned to the university because an address is undeliverable, the student will be responsible for payment of fees to mail the diploma a second time.

Please note that it takes several weeks to review each student's record individually for degree clearance. With that in mind, diplomas are estimated to ship on or after the dates specified below. Diplomas are mailed via the United States Postal Service. Please allow adequate time for anticipated delivery and receipt of your diploma via USPS.
