General Information

Following a final audit of your academic record and verification of the successful completion of all degree requirements, the Office of the University Registrar will confer your degree.

Mailing Diplomas

Your name will appear on your diploma as it is recorded as the legal name in the university's database. You are strongly encouraged to verify the accuracy of your legal name and current mailing address through CampusNet. If there is an error, legal name changes can be made by completing the Change of Student Information form.

Please make any necessary address changes online.

Diplomas are mailed by the Wednesday after the week in which your degree was conferred.  If, after 21 business days from the date of the issuing of your diploma, your diploma has not arrived at its intended destination, notify the Graduation Office at (216) 687-3700 or at graduation@csuohio.edu. Notifications of non-receipt are accepted up to 60 days after your diploma has been issued. After 60 days, you must order a duplicate diploma.    All notifications of non-receipt will be investigated. The Graduation Office reserves the right to refuse the complimentary re-issuing of a diploma. 

Diplomas are not mailed to students who have a financial hold on their student account. Such holds must be resolved with the Bursar's Office before the diploma will be released.
