Diplomas

Diplomas at Graduation

All diplomas and certificates are mailed to students' Home/Permanent addresses as recorded in our student system. Students must check their addresses to verify the accuracy of the address information. If the diploma should be mailed to an alternate address, students must add a Diploma address. Using the STUDENT PROFILE tile, select "Personal Information" from the menu to access your address information.

International Students: Be certain to check the home/permanent address on record, since this is the address to which the diploma will be mailed. If the diploma should be mailed to a different location, students must add a diploma address. Finally, if an international student has no Home/Permanent or Diploma address, the diploma will be mailed to the FOREIGN address as recorded in our student system.

All addresses must be verified no later than the official graduation date. Should a diploma be returned to the university because an address is undeliverable, the student will be responsible for payment of fees to mail the diploma a second time.

Please note that it takes several weeks to review each student's record individually for degree clearance once the final exam grade due date has passed. With that in mind, diplomas are estimated to ship on or after the dates specified below. Diplomas are mailed via the United States Postal Service (USPS), and students will be sent an email notification from info@cecredentialtrust.com to their DUQ email address once the diploma has shipped. (It is recommended that you check your SPAM folder.) Please allow adequate time for anticipated delivery and receipt of your diploma via USPS.
