Diplomas are issued four times a year, at the end of each term. You must apply to graduate to receive your diploma. If you are pursuing more than one degree at the time you submit and if it defaults to the higher degree please email the Graduate School and we will manually change it for you.
To fill out the form, login to MyOregonState. First, check your profile page to make sure Graduate Student is checked under "Affiliations." Next, navigate to the resources page and search the resources for "apply to graduate." Follow the link and fill out the form.
Diplomas are mailed free of charge. This service will be provided by the Michael Sutter Company, our vendor that prints all OSU diplomas.
If you are completing a Certificate, please apply to graduate at the start of the term in which you will complete your certificate requirements so we can complete a final audit and award your certificate. You will not receive a diploma or be eligible to attend commencement. Academic programs that award certificates often provide diploma-like documentation and your accomplishment will be visible on your OSU academic transcript.
