Your final transcript with the degree posted is the official documentation of graduation. In rare instances when this information absolutely must be communicated to a third party earlier or a valued opportunity will be lost, please contact the Office for Senior Advising.  

We will provide you with one verification letter that must be sent directly to the third party (e.g., employer, graduate school, military). How quickly we can honor your request will depend upon where we stand with the overall certification process.
