Navigate to the SIO Graduation and Diploma page under the Academic Info tab, and click the Edit button under Diploma Information to change how your name will appear on your diploma and in the commencement program. (If you have an outstanding balance on your student account, a message will appear alerting you that your diploma will be held until the balance is resolved.)

• Check that your Diploma Name in SIO is correct, as it is separate from your preferred name in SIO.
• Provide the exact spelling of your name for your diploma and the commencement program (case-sensitive) for the following Commencement celebration.
• If your name includes characters that cannot be entered into SIO, email an image of how your name should be printed to uro-diplomas@andrew.cmu.edu.

Information under this section needs to be updated by your department (or the department offering your additional major/minor). If any of this information is incorrect, contact your academic advisor or the advisor of the major/minor in question.

You can see how your diploma will look by checking out the prototype on the SIO Graduation and Diploma page.

Note: The prototype is not an official document and may not be used as proof of your degree. 

You may indicate here whether you plan on attending Commencement in May. This is not an official sign-up, but a way for us to estimate expected attendance.

August diplomas are shipped directly from the printing vendor in early October, so please provide a mailing address on the SIO Graduation and Diploma page by August 25. If your address changes after the deadline, please contact uro-diplomas@andrew.cmu.edu. 

Important: The mailing address on your Graduation and Diploma page is separate from the permanent address listed under the My Info tab, and updating one does not update the other. It is important to update your address in the correct location so that we know where to send your diploma. 

• We will mail diplomas to domestic and international addresses.
• We are not able to mail diplomas to departmental addresses, SMC boxes, or P.O. boxes.
• We encourage you to use a residential address.
• You will receive a tracking number once your diploma has been shipped (typically in early October). International addresses may take an additional two to three weeks.
• A phone number and postal code are required.
  • If you will be using an international address, please provide an international phone number.
  • If your home country does not use postal codes, please enter a "0."
• If your home address is outside of the U.S. and you are worried about your diploma reaching you, or are concerned that you may not be able to receive large packages, you may provide the address of a trusted friend or relative who can receive your diploma and forward it with tracking.
• If you do not know what your address wil be:
  • Please enter UNKNOWN, WILL CONTACT LATER, PITTSBURGH, PA 15213.
  • Once you know your address, please contact uro-diplomas@andrew.cmu.edu.
  • We will not order your diploma until an address is provided.

Be sure to check your student account balance within SIO to ensure that your account is paid in full by August 25. This includes sponsored students. 

Please pay any remaining student account balances by the August 26 deadline to ensure the timely delivery of your diploma.

For questions concerning your student account, please email The HUB at thehub@andrew.cmu.edu.
