Once grades are submitted and graduation verified, diplomas will be mailed out within 6 to 10 weeks after commencement. Make certain your mailing address is correctly listed in Blue and Gold Connection. Please note that the University only ships diplomas to addresses within the United States. If you reside outside the U.S., you will need to make alternative arrangements for receiving your diploma. We recommend using a reliable mail forwarding service or providing a U.S. shipping address.

While the United States Postal Service (USPS) is accurate and dependable most of the time, occasionally diplomas are damaged. We are unable to insure USPS deliveries. If your diploma arrives damaged, it can be reprinted for a fee of $25.00. Diploma folders will only be given to candidates participating in a commencement ceremony and are not available for purchase.

If you have lost or damaged your original diploma and/or wish to have a duplicate copy of your diploma you can fill out a Duplicate Diploma Order Form. Additional diplomas are $25.
