Information Restriction Flag - exclusion from Commencement Program

Certain types of information restriction flags will keep your name from being printed in the Commencement Program. Please check student link to see if you have placed any information restrictions on your file. Certain restrictions require that we not release any information about the you anyone. That includes putting your in the Commencement Program. If our records show that you have requested that an information restriction be placed on your record, your name will not appear in the commencement program.

 

Diplomas

Diplomas are not given out at Commencement. Diplomas are ordered individually for each student after the final degree audit of their academic record is completed. You should receive your diploma about four weeks after the official graduation date. The diploma will be mailed the address you have listed on student link as your 'diploma' address. If you do not have a 'diploma' address listed, it will be mailed to your permanent address. Diplomas are printed and mailed from out of state; therefore students are not able to pick them up here on campus.

 

International Student Diplomas

International student diplomas will be sent to the permanent address on file. Most international student's permanent addresses are in their home country. If an international student does not want their diploma sent to the home country, they must create a diploma delivery address and indicate its type as 'diploma'. The diploma address should be created before the student's final semester is completed.

 

Diploma Name

The name on your diploma must match the name that is used on official university records. If you want a different variation of your name to be used on your diploma, you must change your name officially at the Registrar's Office in Admin 210.
