Diplomas

Degrees are granted three times a year, on January 31st, June 30th, and September 1st.

Beginning in 2021, when students officially graduate, they will receive an email about two weeks later with a link where they can download an electronic copy of their diploma. Soon after, they will receive tracking information for their printed diploma, which is mailed to the home address on record in CUNYfirst.  Diplomas are not available for pickup in our office.

Diplomas issued before 2020:  ​The program office keeps diplomas for all students who did not pick theirs up, dating back to the beginning of the program—so you can still get yours by contacting us at 212.817.8221 to confirm our office hours, and then planning to come in for it.

CUNY BA Commencement - DiplomasStudents can arrange to have their diploma mailed to them as follows:

  1. Statement Letter: Notify the CUNY Baccalaureate Registrar in writing, that you give permission for your diploma to be mailed to you and that you take full responsibility for the condition of its receipt. Please be sure to print your full name, sign and date the letter/email.
  2. Envelope: Send a self-addressed and stamped envelope (United States Post Office only). Note that the diploma size is 16" x 13" and weighs less than 1 lb.

Please send all documents to:

CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies
365 Fifth Avenue
Suite 6412
New York, NY 10016-4309

Again, remember that the program is not responsible for your diploma if it is lost or damaged in the mail should you choose this option.

Replacement Diplomas

If you lose or damage your diploma, you can request a new one through Parchment (the same system used to request transcripts). There is a $30 fee for replacement diplomas, payable through Parchment.
