Can I receive my parchment (degree) before I graduate? 🔹 Can I get my degree early if I need it for a job? 🔹 I finished my courses — can I get my parchment now? 🔹 Is it possible to get my degree before convocation?

Summary

Learn whether you can receive your official degree parchment before your graduation date and what options are available if you need proof of completion.

Body

Unfortunately not — your parchment (degree) can only be released after your official graduation date.

But if you need proof that you’ve completed your degree before then, we can help:

  • 📨 We can send you a confirmation letter stating:
    • You’ve completed all degree requirements
    • Your expected graduation date
  • 📍 You’ll need to provide a current mailing address or fax number for us to send the letter.

If you’re not attending convocation, your parchment will be mailed to you. Make sure we have your correct mailing address on file.

📌 Note: Mail delivery times vary depending on your location.
