The Registrar's Office distributes diplomas. Diplomas are not available until after the degree is conferred. Because there is no commencement in August or December, graduates complete a diploma/in absentia form to obtain their diploma. Students may opt to pick up their diploma, have the diploma mailed, or request that the diploma be held by the Registrar's Office until commencement.
May graduates complete the diploma form only if they do not intend to participate in commencement. Diplomas will be distributed after the unified ceremony on Saturday. To assist the BMS Graduate Programs office in providing you with important information, your current, valid mailing address and a current email address should be on file with this office. This information should be included on the diploma form and exit form. These forms are required to complete the application for degree process. The forms can be obtained from the BMS Graduate Program office. The information on the commencement form is also provided to the University Registrar for mailing your diploma if you wish it to be mailed to you. An acceptable mailing address, not a post office box number, must be provided on this form. The address can be used by all university offices to provide you with information about graduation.
