At the commencement ceremony, diploma covers are presented to all graduates. President’s Honors graduates will also be presented gold cords. Diplomas are ordered when the degree is conferred then mailed to the student within ten weeks if all financial accounts are clear.

Students who have completed the academic requirements for a degree but who have outstanding financial obligations will not be prevented from participating in commencement exercise; however, no diploma or transcript will be issued to such students until their financial account has been cleared.

Students who do not wish to attend the ceremony should still submit their applications and the $100 fee two quarters prior to completion of their degree program. The degree and diploma fee is strictly an administrative fee and does not cover the cost of commencement.
