When are diplomas mailed? What happens after Commencement?
Following commencement and after all grades are posted, the colleges begin the task
of clearing students for graduation. This means the college reviews final grades
to determine that all degree requirements have been met and notifies the Registrar's
Office when the degree can be awarded. Once cleared by the college, the Registrar's
Office posts the degree to the transcript and orders the diploma from Paradigm Inc.
The diploma is printed and then mailed by Paradigm Inc. to the student at the address
listed on the graduation application. Students will receive an email to their UT student
email address once the diploma has been mailed. This clearing, posting, and ordering
of diplomas are ongoing for about 45 days past commencement.
To verify that your degree has been awarded, your unofficial transcript through the
myUT Portal. Follow instructions for viewing unofficial transcripts online.
