Diplomas will be available 4-8 weeks after your final semester. Students are responsible for checking the accuracy of their name, as well as local and permanent addresses on file with USC. The way your name reads on your student record is the way it will appear on your diploma. Once your degree has posted your name cannot not be changed. Diplomas are mailed to the permanent address on file. To avoid any delay in receiving the diploma, students should verify that the permanent address on file with USC will be valid for at least three months following their final semester of study and degree conferral date.
