Diplomas:
You will receive only a souvenir certificate at graduation. Your Spring 2009 grades must be processed and diplomas can’t be picked up (in Sproul Hall) until some five or six months after graduation. If you need proof of graduation before then, you can obtain a Certificate of Completion in mid-June (from Verifications in Sproul Hall). There is no charge for this certificate. If you are leaving the area, you should file a special “diploma mailing card” with those folks in – where else? – Sproul Hall. There is a $12 fee.
