Commencement

Degrees should be posted to your official San Jacinto College transcript within two to three weeks of the end of the term. An email will be sent when diplomas have been mailed, usually within six to eight weeks of degrees being posted to your transcript. Diplomas will not be issued to students who have financial holds on their account.

Diplomas are mailed to graduates through USPS by Parchment to the address specified during the graduation application process. Diplomas for graduates who did not specify an address are sent to the permanent address on file. All graduates will also receive an email from Parchment with an electronic diploma/certificate that you can share with employers or on social media. Graduates can track their diploma mailing by going to Parchment and signing into their account. If you have graduated in the last 3 months and have not received your diploma, please email diploma@sjcd.edu.  

A diploma reprint request can be made by creating an account with Parchment. There is a $25 charge plus shipping for each additional diploma requested. All duplicate diplomas/certificates will have the signature of the current Chancellor and Board Chair and will use the current diploma template.
