How can students order diplomas?
The university provides a free printed diploma to each student on or after graduation. Beginning with the winter 2020 graduates, a complimentary eDiploma is provided once the printed diploma is issued.
The complimentary eDiploma will be issued to the Doctor of Medicine graduates beginning with the class of 2024. It is unavailable to those who graduated before May 2024.
Medical and Dental School students receive their diplomas at the graduation ceremony. All others are mailed to the graduate's permanent address or the Diploma Address if one has been created by the student in Wolverine Access. Diplomas are mailed approximately 6-8 weeks following the commencement ceremony.
Students must apply for graduation using the online graduation application in Wolverine Access. It is important to check with your school or college for specific deadlines. When applying, students can choose to have their Primary or Preferred name printed on their diploma, or they can add a diploma name. Past graduates ordering replacement diplomas through the Michael Sutter Company can also specify how their name should appear on the diploma.
Standard sizes of diplomas are as follows:
-
11" x 14" — Doctoral degrees (except MD)
-
15 3/4" x 22" — Medical School (MD)
-
8 1/2" x 11" — All Others
