Diploma

After all the semester grades have been turned in and verified, the Registrar and Associate Registrar will start to officially graduate students. They will conduct a final degree audit and verify that all requirements have been met. If a student's requirements have not been meet, they will notify the student and move their anticipated graduation date to the next cycle. 

Once a student's degree has been posted, our office will start to print and mail out their diplomas. 

Sometimes this process can take a couple of months to complete. 

No, we will mail diplomas after final grades have been posted and a final degree audit has been done. 

Students who participate in the Commencement Ceremony will only receive their official diploma cover jacket. Those who do not participate will be given a diploma cover jacket at the same time they receive their diploma. 

Please contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@svsu.edu with the new address.

We will only mail the diplomas to the address listed on the application, if you need to change it after you submitted the application please email us ASAP.
