Please Note:

  • The name on your official student record (including diplomas and transcripts) cannot be changed after your degree has been conferred.
  • Once a student opens the envelope that their official paper transcript comes in through the US Mail, the transcript becomes an unofficial document.  The student will not be able to present this transcript as an official document once the envelope has been opened.
