Students who are certified by the law school as having completed
graduation requirements for October or January degrees may secure their
diploma from the Office of the Registrar before the annual
commencement. Requests to receive diplomas in advance of the annual
commencement must be submitted either in person or by mail. Phone
requests are not honored. Students who secure their diplomas
in person are required to sign a "Diploma Request Form" that is placed
in the diploma jacket used at the commencement exercise, if the student
plans to attend commencement. Students who submit written requests by
mail for early diploma release receive their degrees by "return receipt
requested" mail. If the student plans to attend commencement, a copy of
the letter accompanying the diploma is placed in a diploma jacket for
the graduation exercise.
