Business Master's Graduation

In April, President Pines sent a letter to the campus community stating that the University would be celebrating all graduates from the academic year together every spring. This change means that moving forward, all August, December, and May graduates will be celebrated together at a commencement ceremony held in late May.

Diploma Information

Degrees will be posted to the student's record 4-6 weeks after the end of the semester.

Diplomas are typically mailed approximately 6 weeks after degrees are noted on student transcripts. However, diplomas will not be sent if a student has an outstanding financial obligation to the University (parking tickets, overdue books, or unpaid tuition bills). Student diplomas will be mailed to the permanent address listed in the University system. For permanent address changes, students should update their address through the Registrar. 

Contact the Diploma Office (301-314-8270) for diploma questions.
