Commencement and Graduation

Commencement FAQs

• When will I receive my diploma?

  Diplomas are ordered once degree requirements have been verified for all graduating students. This is typically two weeks after the final grading deadline for each term. Once diplomas have been ordered, it takes approximately four to six weeks for them to arrive. Please email registrar@hamline.edu with any questions.

• If I graduate in December, how will I learn about Commencement?

  Continue to check your Hamline email after you graduate -- this is the official way the university communicates with you about event details. Emails will come from commencement@hamline.edu.

  Sometimes recent grads overlook the annual password reset requirement. This blocks access to their Hamline email, and communications are missed. To avoid this happening, periodically check your Hamline email and reset your password before the deadline. If you need assistance reactivating your account, contact csd@hamline.edu.
