January graduates can attend the upcoming May ceremonies and September graduates can attend the preceding May ceremonies, however your diploma will be mailed. Diplomas will only be mailed to Official graduates who have provided a diploma mailing address via the Student Link and have no University holds. The date your diploma is ordered/mailed depends on when you have fulfilled these requirements. Diploma order/mail dates can be viewed a day after the order is placed in the Academics > Diploma & Graduation tab in the Student Link.
If you are a May 2019 graduate and interested in express delivery, your FedEx form must be received before June 17, 2019.
May 20, 2019 Graduation
Diplomas for May graduates are distributed during the school/college convocation. Those who don’t attend will have their diploma mailed only if their diploma mailing address is provided and all financial holds resolved.
