Diplomas will be printed with the name listed on the student’s official record when the degree is awarded. If a student’s name needs to be updated prior to graduation so that it is reflected on the diploma, an official name change request with supporting documentation must be completed. More information on the name change process can be found on the Personal Information Change page. 
 
The deadline for Fall 2024 degree candidates to update the name on their student records for the diploma is 5:00 p.m. on December 11, 2024.

Diplomas for all Professional, Doctoral, Master’s, and Bachelor’s students will be mailed upon verification of completion of all degree requirements. Additionally, physical certificates are mailed to students that submit certificate graduation applications and complete all program requirements. These documents will be mailed to the address the degree candidate provided on their application for graduation.
 
Diploma and Certificate mailing addresses cannot be updated by students in Howdy. Instead students should email Degree Audit (degree-audit@tamu.edu) to have these addresses updated. Once a document ships for an awarded degree or certificate, graduates will receive an email with tracking information through their Texas A&M email account.
 
The deadline for Summer 2024 degree candidates to update their diploma/certificate mailing address is 5 p.m. on August 9, 2024.
