Boston University and Wheelock College merged on June 1, 2018, and as a result, BU has assumed custodianship of the academic credentials issued by Wheelock College. Alumni of Wheelock College will request credentials from Boston University as of June 1, 2018.

Diploma orders are placed once per week. Standard diploma production takes 10-15 business days and expedited production takes 5 business days from when the order is placed.

All standard domestic shipments will be mailed via USPS. Expedited domestic or international shipments will be mailed via UPS. If a diploma must first be routed to the Diploma Office for notarization and expedited shipping is requested, the diploma will be shipped via UPS to the Diploma Office and then shipped via FedEx to the requested address.
