REGALIA:

You will order your cap and gown when you apply for graduation on myUM. For questions regarding Regalia, please contact: capandgown@miami.edu

DIPLOMAS:

Check the status of your diploma order here. This will appear ONLY after your diploma has been ordered. Diplomas are not ordered until all financial holds have been cleared.

Participation in the Commencement Ceremony or the listing of a student’s name in the Commencement Book in no way implies or ensures graduation. A student’s graduation is contingent upon successful completion of the degree requirements and approval by the academic school or college.

If there are no holds, diplomas are ordered automatically after the degree is posted to your transcript. Diplomas are mailed directly from the printing company to the address entered in myUM at the time you applied for graduation.

DEGREE STATUS:

Verify that your degree is posted through myUM. Under the Student/Academic tab, select Degree Information under Graduation Information. If it does not display your degree under “Degrees Previously Earned”, your degree is not yet posted. If you have any problems accessing myUM, please contact IT at 305-284-6565, option 3.

Please note that posting degrees may take several weeks after graduation and Graduate degrees may take longer due to the fact that they must be approved by both the academic department and the Graduate School. Please contact your school or college regarding the status of your degree.

DIPLOMA ADDRESS:

IMPORTANT: The diploma will be mailed to the address you select when you submit your application for graduation on myUM. If there are any changes after the application is submitted, you must notify the Office of the Registrar in person or in writing of the new address for your diploma. You can update your address on myUM, and then send an email to Lois Bauer (l.bauer@miami.edu), and request your diploma to be mailed to your new address.
