Diplomas will be mailed after all grades are finalized and certified by the WVU Office of the Registrar. If you are graduating in August or December 2017, you must obtain written permission from your Dean to walk in the May 2017 commencement ceremony. The names of August and December graduates will NOT appear in the May program. WVU has contracted with GradImages to provide quality graduation photos of each student.
