- Order Cap and Gown: The deadline for ordering your cap and gown is March 24th, 2023. You can order through Herff Jones at collegegrad.herffjones.com
- Finalizing Graduation: The completion of the degree/certificate will be confirmed once all spring semester grades are received, and a final degree audit is completed.
- Transcripts: Transcripts that include a “graduation stamp” will be available once all grades are processed, all financial obligations are met, and a final degree audit is completed. The process takes approximately eight weeks.
- Diploma: Graduates: we will be mailing diplomas/certificates, official transcripts, and diploma covers, so please ensure your mailing addresses are correct in the student portal. We invite faculty, staff, and students to use #LopesGrad when sharing commencement/graduation posts on personal social media accounts so we can all join in on the celebration!
