Resources for Graduating Students

Diplomas

Graduating students will receive diplomas at their diploma ceremonies, which colleges/schools/departments will host throughout the weekend. We will share a final schedule in the coming weeks.  

If you are unable to attend your diploma ceremony, we will mail you your diploma. You should enter your diploma delivery addresses in SIO under Academic Info > Graduation and Diploma. Because students often move shortly after graduation, we use this address instead of your permanent address.

If you are eligible to receive honors cords and medallions, you will receive them either prior to commencement or at your diploma ceremony. We will share more details in the spring.   

If you have questions regarding diploma distribution, please contact Enrollment Services at uro-diplomas@andrew.cmu.edu.

Diploma Frames, Class Rings and other Graduation Merchandise

You can purchase items to help commemorate your graduation at the University Store.

Visit the University Store website and choose the Graduation tab for more information on ordering CMU personalized class rings, personalized announcements, gifts, diploma frames and more to celebrate your graduation.

Career and Professional Development Center

The Career and Professional Development Center (CPDC) offers a variety of career services for students and alumni. In addition to the services described on the CPDC website, alumni can use all of the resources available to current students, including job postings in Handshake.

CMU Alumni Association

Congratulations graduating students and welcome to the Carnegie Mellon University Alumni Association! Learn how to connect with other alumni and engage with the university through events and other alumni programming by joining the CMU Alumni Community.

Following your graduation, you will begin receiving information about upcoming events, available resources, campus news and more to help introduce you to the Alumni Association. To ensure that you receive these messages, please update your contact information. And as your city, job and contact information change over time, please keep your information current so that we can stay in touch!
