Diplomas
Diplomas
Diplomas will be ordered for students who have applied to graduate and have been preliminarily cleared to do so. To ensure accuracy and avoid delays in receiving your diploma, please check the following information via your MyCharleston account:
- DegreeWorks degree audit - after grades are available online, check to make sure all coursework was successfully completed and graded (nothing listed as incomplete, still in progress or nearly complete).
- Check your eBill account to be sure you don't have an account balance - diplomas won't be released to graduates with an account balance.
- Check to make sure the address* you listed on your graduation application is a place where you can receive mail up to 12 weeks after graduation.
- Diplomas are printed with the full legal name of the student as it is on record at the College. Address any concerns you may have about how your name will be printed to our attention by the date listed below to avoid delays and additional fees:
- March 15, 2012 (spring 2012 graduates)
*You can view your Diploma Mailing address by going to your MyCharleston account (Academic Services tab) and choosing the following options: Banner Self-Service→Student→Student Records→View Application to Graduate. Changes to this address can only be made by either completing a Graduation Update form or sending an email (must be from college-issued account) to: graduation@cofc.edu.
