General Information About Your Paper Diploma
- At each of the graduation ceremonies (May & December) students receive their diploma covers.
- Diplomas state the student's degree and honors. For example: Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science.
- Majors and minors are only listed on transcripts, not on diplomas.
- The name that appears on the diploma is the student’s primary name, unless the student
chooses to complete a degree name or a preferred name in RamPortal.
- Please note: if only entering a degree name, that name must be very similar to the student’s primary name. (For example: Liz, instead of Elizabeth, or, Mike, instead of Michael.)
- Please More information on the Preferred Name Policy.
- Students must clear all holds in order to receive their diploma.
- Diplomas are mailed for all students who have met graduation requirements and have
cleared all holds according to the following schedule:
- December graduates receive their diplomas in late February
- May graduates receive their diplomas in late July
- August graduates receive their diplomas in late October
