Upon claiming the diploma, the student will be prompted to verify their name and address for the printed diploma, which will be issued within 30 days after graduation.
 

Transcripts:

Official Transcripts are available within 48 hours of the end of the semester. You can request to have your transcripts sent to transfer institutions before grades are posted and they will be delivered once the term is over.
