Students have to apply to graduate the semester BEFORE they expect to complete their program.
Failure to submit an application by the deadline will result in a one semester delay in your degree or certificate being awarded.

文凭
文凭 are available for pick up at the One Stop Center approximately two months after the traditional semester ends. Bachelor diplomas are printed on 8.5" x 11" paper, and Masters/Doctoral diplomas are printed on 11" x 14" paper. 文凭 which are not retrieved during the pick up dates will be mailed to your permanent home address as listed in BannerWeb. If your address will be different after graduation, please be sure to update your information on BannerWeb before the end of your final semester.
Doctoral diplomas are printed with the assistance of an outside company, therefore delays are possible due to shipping.
