Degrees & Diplomas
Graduate Degrees & Doctorate Programs
Degree Conferral
Degrees are conferred effective the last day of each month. We ask that you clear all obligations to the University so we can release your diploma.
Diplomas
Once the Student Records Office has verified that your degree program is 100% complete, we will notify you and ask you to order your diploma online. Your diploma will arrive approximately eight weeks after the conferral date. At the Commencement Ceremony, you will receive your diploma cover, but not your diploma.
If you have not yet received notification from Student Records, you may check your Advisement Report in BRUIN. If it indicates your degree is 100% complete, you may complete the Graduation Diploma Order Form located under eServices in BRUIN. Please do not complete the Graduation Diploma Order Form if the report indicates an incomplete degree, as early submission of the form may delay conferring your degree. The Diploma Order Form includes a $100.00 graduation fee due at the time of completing the form.
If your Advisement Report does not indicate you are 100% complete when you believe it should, please contact your Academic Advisor. If you have questions regarding your diploma, please contact Student Records at SSSStudentRecordsTeam@bellevue.edu or 800-756-7920, ext. 0.
