Graduation is the process in which all academic requirements are verified and the institution awards a degree, diploma, or certificate to an individual who has successfully met all of the graduation requirements.

Below you can find the “Diploma Request” form. This form is located in the
Registrar’s Office. Once you have this form you must pay the $15.00 fee in order to purchase and request the diploma. If you need your diploma to be rush ordered it would cost $30.00. Once paid, the form must be taken to the registrar’s office to be processed.

As noted in the Diploma Order Form, the request will take up to 6-8 weeks to be processed.
You will be notified when it is available for pickup.
