Diplomas
receiving your degree
degree conferral
Degrees are conferred effective the last day of each month. To ensure your diploma is released without delay, please make sure all university obligations are cleared before that date.
All degree requirements, including, but not limited to, any incomplete grades, comprehensive exams, transfer documentation, grade changes, substitution or waivers, high school verification documentation, must be completed and received at the Registrar’s Office by the last day of the month in which your degree is to be conferred.

Once the Student Records Office verifies that your degree program is 100% complete, you’ll receive an email notification and may order your diploma online. Paper diplomas are typically mailed eight weeks after the conferral date. At Commencement, you’ll receive a diploma cover but not the printed diploma itself.
digital diplomas available
Since 2017, Bellevue University has offered digital diplomas as part of the diploma ordering process. Digital diplomas are an easy, secure way to share your achievement with family, friends, or potential employers on social platforms such as LinkedIn.
When Student Records verifies your degree completion and conferral date (2017 or later), you’ll automatically receive a digital diploma order along with your paper diploma order form. You’ll still receive a printed diploma by mail. Every digital diploma provided by Parchment.com includes security features to verify it as an official credential of Bellevue University and cannot be pirated.
If you are a student with a conferral date prior to 2017 and would like a digital diploma, please contact us. Requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
For questions about paper or digital diplomas, please contact sssstudentrecordsteam@bellevue.edu.
check your advisement report for completion
If you haven’t yet received your completion notice, check your Academic Progress report in BRUIN. If it shows your degree as 100% complete, you may fill out the Graduation Diploma Order Form in BRUIN. Please do not complete the Graduation Diploma Order Form if the report indicates your degree is incomplete, as early submission of the form may delay the conferral process.
If your report does not indicate completion but you believe it should, contact your Student Coach or Advisor. For diploma-related questions, email SSSStudentRecordsTeam@bellevue.edu or call 800-756-7920.
