Transcripts & Diplomas

Transcripts

The transcript is the official record of a student's progress and accomplishment at Carnegie Mellon. In addition to a complete academic record, the major field of study and any minor(s) will appear on the official transcript (i.e. Major: Business Administration, Minor: Occupational Education, Minor Specialization: English Studies).

Visit Enrollment Services to request a transcript.

Diplomas

A Carnegie Mellon diploma is a student's certificate of accomplishment. Please note, the student's official transcript is the official record for all degree(s), major(s), minor(s) and honors.

The diploma is printed with the name provided by the student via Graduation On-Line, along with the student's primary degree (i.e. Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering).

Beginning in May 2008, minors will no longer be listed on the diploma, although they will continue to be indicated on the official transcript.

Diplomas are distributed to graduates during or immediately following the commencement ceremony. Certain circumstances will result in a graduate receiving her/his diploma at a later date, and s/he will be informed of this well before the ceremony. If a graduate is unable to attend the ceremony, her/his diploma will be available for pick-up or mail-out in the weeks following commencement. Diplomas are not available prior to the stated date of graduation.

The diploma is 14x17 inches and is marked with a gold and burgundy seal. For more information, visit Enrollment Services replacement diploma page.
