If you’re graduating, Commencement takes place in May. Although students might complete the Undergraduate Program in December, they officially graduate in May.
For Commencement Information, visit Conference & Events Commencement Information website.
Early in the Spring semester, students who are on track to graduate at then end of the semester will received an email asking them to complete the Diploma Form in Virtual Bryn Mawr. The
Diploma form is a custom form in Virtual Bryn Mawr that indicates
how you want your name to appear on your diploma and on the commencement
program.
To navigate to the form, login
to Virtual Bryn Mawr.
Then go to the Self Service > Student Center.
Scroll down to the bottom right of that page and you will see the “Diploma Form”.
[Note: Bryn Mawr does not use the Apply for Graduation option available in Virtual Bryn Mawr]
Diplomas are sent out to the graduates home address (unless otherwise specified) and should be received approximately six weeks after graduation. [Diplomas sent internationally could take up to eight weeks.] Students will be contacted prior to graduation to verify the spelling of their name and the address to which they would like the diploma mailed.
The diploma is written in Latin and bears the graduates' name, graduation date and degree (with honors, if applicable), and the university’s seal and signatures. Majors aren’t shown on your diploma, but listed on your transcript.
