Diplomas & Transcript
Diplomas and official transcripts are not provided until all degree requirements are certified by the college advising office and awarded by the Registrar’s Office after the commencement ceremony. Your college’s advising office will notify you of any deficiencies of degree requirements via your UCF email account. Contact your college advising office if you have any questions regarding your status.
Incomplete grades will prevent a candidate from graduating. If this occurs, the candidate must reapply to graduate in a later semester. Grade changes must be completed one week after graduation.
Diplomas
Diplomas are not issued at the ceremony. They are mailed to graduates once all degree requirements are certified by the college and awarded by the university.
Approximately 6 to 10 weeks after commencement, all diplomas will be mailed to the address indicated on the student’s Intent to Graduate form. Diploma mailing addresses for undergraduate degrees may be changed by logging into MyUCF > Student Self Service > Personal Information > Addresses. Diploma mailing addresses for master’s and doctoral degrees must be updated by contacting the College of Graduate Studies.
UCF will issue a digital diploma to graduates prior to the physical diplomas being mailed. When the diplomas are ready to be issued, the graduate will receive an email notification to their UCF email with instructions of how to download the digital diploma. At that time, the graduate will have an opportunity to update the diploma mailing address.
Diplomas will not be issued if the graduate’s record is on hold. The university will notify students via UCF email of any outstanding holds that would prevent the mailing of transcripts or diplomas. All financial obligations must be met in order to receive a diploma and official transcripts. Graduates should check their myUCF portal for any holds that may exist and clear up those obligations before commencement.
Transcripts
Transcripts that reflect the degree earned will be available approximately 4 to 6 weeks after the ceremony. Graduates may submit transcript requests online at myUCF > Student Self Service > Student Center > other academics: (drop down menu) > Transcripts: Request Official. Be sure to turn off pop-up blockers. Graduates must select the “Hold for Degree” processing time option. For more information, please see the Registrar’s Office Official Transcript Request page.
