Diplomas: Diplomas will be mailed to the address that is most current in the computer. If you are think that we might have the wrong address please stop by ACADEMIC RECORDS to verify what is in the computer. We DO NOT keep copies of diplomas so they are the sole responsibility of the student. Never surrender the original. If an employer or foreign government wants it, make a copy of the original and have it notarized.
