Commencement – Diplomas

Both a digital version and a printed version of your diploma will be available. Here is the process:

• Diplomas will come from a company called Parchment.
• The digital version of each diploma is issued on or shortly after the day of Commencement and sent to graduates via email.
• If you do not have a Parchment account, you will be prompted to create one in order to access your digital diploma. You can download your digital diploma and share it to social media if you wish.
• You must verify your mailing address in your Parchment account in order to receive the printed version of your diploma.
• Approximately two weeks after you verify your mailing address, you should receive your printed diploma in the mail.
