DIPLOMAS

A PDF copy of your diploma will be on file in OMSA for future requests after physical copies are mailed – no need to take your diploma out of its frame! (2010 - Current)

Diplomas are printed by a third party and mailed directly to graduates approximately 2-3 weeks after final grades are posted and degrees conferred. Digital copies will be available in OMSA after the originals are mailed by late July or August. You may have the option to purchase a digital version from the printer, however, some institutions will still require that a certified copy be sent directly from OMSA.
