Diplomas are issued four times a year, at the end of each term. You must complete a diploma application form to receive your diploma. Diplomas are available from the Registrar’s Office approximately six weeks after the end of the term. Diplomas earned during spring term are available at Commencement.
Graduate School Exit Survey
All advanced degree recipients are given the opportunity to complete an exit survey that gathers information about the graduate school experience. You will receive a copy of the survey when you schedule your final examination along with a small token of our appreciation for taking the time to complete the questionnaire. The results are completely confidential and are very important in helping us improve all aspects of graduate education at OSU.
Master’s in Education Exit Survey
Every graduate must complete an online exit survey. Your feedback is important in order to improve the EdM program. It is also a requirement for the accreditation of the program.
Degree Certification
The Graduate School will notify the Registrar when you complete all requirements for your degree and will indicate the specific date you did so. This date will show up on your transcript. You may request a statement of degree from the Graduate School after the Graduate School has certified the degree. The Registrar’s office confers degrees and distributes diplomas four times each year.
Commencement
OSU holds only one formal Commencement ceremony each year in June. If you complete all degree requirements by the specified deadline you may attend the Commencement ceremony. If you are eligible, the Registrar will mail you detailed information about Commencement.
