Graduating Students

To ensure you receive your diploma/certificate in a timely manner, please be sure to resolve any financial holds (including parking and library fines) and update your mailing address on mySeattleU. Your mailing address is where your diploma will be mailed, directly from the printing company. Your diploma should arrive in 4-6 weeks after your degree has been posted. See the Important Academic Dates Calendar for the exact date. If your diploma does not arrive within 8 weeks, contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@seattleu.edu or 206-220-8030.

If you aren't sure where you will be, you can set up your mailing address to be in care of (c/o) a friend or family member. If you don't include the person's name, the post office might not deliver it.
