Graduate School Diplomas

Frequently Asked Questions

I completed my final semester, when will I get my diploma?

• The Graduate School has four degree posting dates that you can find here. Your printed diplomas will be sent via postal mail within 4 weeks of the degree posting date. Your digital diploma will be available on your degree posting date. Printed diplomas are not distributed at the annual commencement ceremony.

How do I claim my digital diploma?

• Check your school email and text messages for the award notification. Follow the link to set up your Parchment digital credentials account. (Note: it is recommended that you link a personal email address to your account so you can continue to access Parchment once after your LC account is no longer active). Download a secure pdf version of your diploma or share on your social networks.
• You can find a helpful video about account setup, and diploma retrieval here.

How do I confirm my diploma mailing address?

• Once your degree is awarded Parchment will contact you to verify or update your mailing address. You have 72 hours to respond.

My diploma never arrived, what do I do?

• You can track your delivery status in your Parchment account. If it has been more than 30 days since your diploma has shipped but you still haven’t received it, please contact the Graduate Registrar’s Office.

I owe money to the college. Can I still get my diploma?

• Both digital and printed diplomas will be released once the balance is cleared.

I need to order a replacement diploma. How can I do that?

• If you have misplaced or damaged your diploma you can order a new through Parchment. If you have your original diploma and it has been damaged, we require that you return your original diploma to us. Replacement diplomas are $50.
