E-diplomas are now available
A secure digital diploma is provided after a Parchment, our Diploma vendor, processes a request; an email is sent providing confirmation and instructions. The digital diploma can be sent to employers with a secure and verified link while also sharing with family and friends on social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Graduates can view their digital diploma online at any time with permanent access and download their digital diploma and save it as a PDF. Additionally, the digital diploma can serve as an alternative to an apostille certification, as many countries recognize digital diplomas issued securely from vendors like Parchment.

Graduate Diploma Questions
The Registrar's Office only processes Undergraduate Baccalaureate Degrees. For more information on a Graduate Degree application please visit the Graduate Studies website.
Will my diploma reflect my concentration or emphasis within my major?
Your diploma will reflect your major as well as your area(s) of concentration. Your diploma will not reflect any emphasis you have chosen.
Will my diploma reflect university honors or scholastic distinctions, if earned?
Diplomas reflect university honors (cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude) for undergraduate degrees. They do not reflect departmental honors and university honors are not granted to graduate degrees.
