As you move forward in your careers and require assistance with licensure and employment, here are a few items to note:
| Transcripts - Request final, official transcripts through the UNM Office of the Registrar. OMSA can run unofficial transcripts only. |
| Final transcripts are posted and degrees are conferred 2-3 weeks after the official graduation date. |
| 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 are available in OMSA after the originals are mailed. 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. |
| Education Verification - When seeking board licensure, education verifications will be required. OMSA verifies your Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree only. Contact the Graduate Medical Office or equivalent at your residency institution regarding any post-graduate work in the future. |
| Keep in Touch! Keep OMSA contact information for reference (located at the bottom of this page), and be sure always to keep the Alumni Office updated with your current address. |
