Diplomas
The university provides a free printed diploma to each student on or after graduation. Beginning with the winter 2020 graduates, a complimentary eDiploma is provided once the printed diploma is issued.
The eDiploma is not available to the Doctor of Medicine graduates, as their diplomas are processed by a different vendor.
Medical and Dental School students receive their diplomas at the graduation ceremony. All others are mailed to the graduate's permanent address or the Diploma Address if one has been created by the student in Wolverine Access. Diplomas are mailed approximately 6-8 weeks following the commencement ceremony.
Students must apply for graduation using the online graduation application in Wolverine Access. Students should check with their school or college of enrollment for deadlines. Standard sizes of diplomas are as follows: >
- 11" x 14" -- Doctoral Degrees (except MD)
- 15 3/4" x 22" -- Medical School (MD)
- 8 1/2" x 11" -- All Others
