How To Obtain Your Physical Diploma
Graduating Students
Graduating students are issued their diplomas shortly after the term's degree conferral date—see the Academic Calendar. Information regarding diploma issuance is communicated close to that date.
Students pending graduation should complete the Diploma Shipping Request Form prior to the term's degree conferral date. Note that Parchment is not able to ship diplomas without a completed Diploma Shipping Request Form on file.
Specific dates for diploma shipping are posted on our Important Information page prior to the end of the semester.
Illinois Tech Alums
Illinois Tech alums who have not obtained their diploma should submit the Diploma Shipping Request Form. Alums may request a replacement diploma by submitting the Diploma Replacement Request Form.
Diploma Purge Policy
Diplomas that are returned or retained by the Office of the Registrar will be held for two years. Diplomas included in this policy are those that have been returned to sender, shipped to the Office of the Registrar for pickup, and those that have been held due to financial holds. Two years after the conferral date, any request for a diploma by alumni will require submission of the Diploma Replacement Request Form. Please note that diplomas will be updated to reflect the current college and authorized signatures.
