About Diplomas

After graduation

You will automatically receive a UCSD diploma upon successful completion of your university and degree requirements.

Undergraduate and graduate student diplomas are mailed to the student's permanent mailing address approximately 3–6 months after the end of the quarter of graduation.

Note: Multiple degrees are listed on one diploma. Minors are not listed on diplomas.
