Diploma Availability
Verification and Ordering Process
Graduating students should be aware that copies of their diplomas will be available anywhere from six to 10 weeks after graduation, due to necessary verification and vendor processing. Here’s how the process works:
- The Office of Registration and Records is responsible for providing students with a copy of their diplomas after their respective schools complete degree audits for those students who have applied for graduation.
- The school office may require two to four weeks after final exams have been completed to:
- Ensure that final grades have been submitted for students
- Verify that students have completed all requirements for their degrees
- Award the degree and post the degree within LOCUS
- After degrees have been posted in LOCUS, Registration and Records prepares and submits a diploma order to the vendor who then requires four to six weeks to process orders and ship diplomas back to Loyola. Registration and Records then prepares the diplomas for mailing to or pickup by students.
