Your diploma

In order to earn a diploma or certificate a student must begin by applying for graduation:

Students are typically eligible to apply for graduation when they have both Junior level academic status and 90 units (includes in-progress).
A diploma is awarded for completing a degree at NAU.
If you earn a certificate, that credential will be awarded to you in the form of a document in addition to and separate from a diploma.
A $35.00 fee is charged for each diploma/certificate awarded.
Graduation fees will be charged to your LOUIE Student Center once you have applied.

*May not be printed on some diplomas due to the text being redundant to the major, emphasis and / or degree text.

College from which the degree was earned. For example, “College of Arts and Letters” will not print on the diploma
Minor
Honors awarded from the former University Honors program

Dean’s List

You will receive your diploma 4 to 6 weeks after the term ends
Your diploma is mailed to your “Home” address specified in your LOUIE Student Center
