Diplomas

Diplomas are not handed out at the spring commencement ceremony. You will receive a diploma cover upon crossing the stage at the commencement ceremony.

Your graduation will be processed after the semester has ended, grades are received, and waiver substitution forms have been reviewed and processed. It takes approximately 30 days to process all graduation applications after the graduation date for each semester.

Once this process is complete, Admissions and Records will order diplomas. The vendor has approximately one month from the time of receipt to process the diploma order.

Make certain that your mailing address is accurate in the Student Information System in myBrightpoint and check your student email account for important information regarding when diplomas are available. If you need official verification of your graduation, you should request your official transcript 3-4 weeks after your graduation date.

Once diplomas are ready, graduates will receive an email from Parchment with a link to access the electronic diploma. Graduates will log in or set up an account with Parchment within 72 hours and verify their mailing address. After 72 hours, graduates can still access electronic diplomas but will not be able to update the mailing address. Paper diplomas will be mailed to the address on file within 15 business days; please allow at least three weeks from the date of the email to receive the paper diploma.

If you do not receive your diploma and it is not returned to the college, it is your responsibility to request a replacement. Replacement diplomas cost $12 and can be ordered by the graduate at www.parchment.com.

All graduation honors reflect all coursework attempted at Brightpoint. This includes courses that may not be used in satisfying specific graduation requirements.
