:: Receiving Your Diploma

Graduates of the College of Arts & Sciences

Immediately following the Arts & Sciences ceremony graduates can pick up their diplomas in the Davis Center Atrium. Distribution of diplomas following the ceremony will be for a limited time only. Diplomas will be available for pick up at the Student Service Center (third floor Waterman) the week following commencement for graduates who are unable to collect their diplomas on the 17th. Please be aware you will need to provide photo ID in order to receive your diploma from our office.

All Other Graduates

If you are a graduate of a school or college other than the College of Arts & Sciences you should receive your diploma at your school or college's individual ceremony. For graduates who are unable to collect their diplomas on the 17th, diplomas will be available for pick up the week following commencement at the Registrar's Office (360 Waterman Building.) Please be aware you will need to provide photo ID in order to receive your diploma from our office.

:: Honors

The recipients of honors are determined when all grades for seniors have been submitted. We anticipate making available the names of those students who have earned honors the Thursday prior to commencement. Honors are now available. Click here for a list of the 2009 recipients.

The Academic Catalogue states: "Honors are determined in the following manner: Within the graduating class of each college/school, students in the top one percent will receive summa cum laude; the following three percent will receive magna cum laude; the next six percent will receive cum laude. The total number of honors awarded will not exceed ten percent of the graduating class of each college/school." For more information about how honors are conferred go directly to the catalogue.
