A student who is in the semester of which they believe they will graduate, should begin the process for graduation by submitting a Petition for Graduation form soon as their last semester begins and ensuring with the Academic Dean and Registrar that all necessary items have been received by their offices. This process can take two months.
Degrees are awarded throughout the academic year (for academic record purposes), but are only printed twice a year: in January and June. Some students may request an “apostille” for their degree, which is a form of authentication. The Office of the Secretary of State offers an apostille and authentication service to U.S. and foreign citizens for documents to be used abroad. This service has an additional cost and is only offered three times a year.

See the fee schedule for costs. If for any reason a diploma needs to be reprinted due to loss, etc., a $50 fee will be charged for its replacement.
