Diplomas

Diplomas are ordered after commencement and all final grades are submitted. Diploma orders can not be placed in advance. The estimated time frame for diplomas to be mailed out to a student is 8-10 weeks after graduation. All administrative issues have to be resolved and a student has to be officially graduated in order for a diploma to be ordered.

Please make sure your mailing address is up-to-date to prevent the diploma from being returned or lost. We do not keep a copy of a diploma on file so if a diploma reorder is requested; there is a $35 charge. If there is an outstanding balance on a student’s account; diplomas and transcripts will not be released until the account has been resolved. Please contact Student Administrative Services by email or by phone at (773) 244-5560 to order additional copies of your diploma.

Diplomas will only contain the program you have completed (i.e. BA, MS), any honors and date of graduation; they will not contain your major or concentration.
