| To order a diploma, a student must obtain a Diploma Order
Request Card (DOR) from their Department Graduate Secretary. For thesis
students, the completed DOR must be submitted to their Department along
with the Final Oral Exam Report. Non-thesis students must submit the DOR
with their Option B Form. The department will process both forms and forward
them to the Graduate School by the deadline noted in the Graduate
School Calendar. Until a Diploma Order Request form is filed, a diploma
cannot be ordered. (Please note that students must fill out an original,
self-duplicating form.)
Students graduating in the spring are awarded their diplomas during the
commencement exercises. The diplomas for those students graduating at
the end of second summer session or those students receiving permission
to receive the degree in absentia are mailed by the Department
of Registration and Records, which is also responsible for the ordering
of diplomas.
Students earning a Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Education
or Doctor of Philosophy degree will receive diplomas designating the degree
but not the major or program of study. Students earning Master's degrees
in a designated field will receive diplomas indicating the field of specialization,
i.e., Master's of Forestry.
Students with co-majors will have those identified on their transcripts,
but not on their diplomas.
