Subject: Diploma Questions? Here’s What to Tell Students

Hi there,
If our recent May grads ask about their diplomas, feel free to let them know that diplomas aren’t ordered until all final grades are in and the Registrar’s Office completes degree audits and confers degrees.  Once that’s done, the order is sent to Paradigm, our diploma vendor.
Since May is a peak season, production can take 8–10 weeks, plus another 7–10 business days for shipping.  Students will get two emails once things are moving:  one with the tracking number for the paper diploma and another with their digital diploma for download.
If they have more questions, please direct them to the Registrar’s Office.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Cheers,
~ Jenny
