No. You will receive a congratulatory letter from UMGC President Dr. Gregory Fowler inside of your diploma cover when you cross the stage. Diplomas are mailed about six to eight weeks after each conferral date; for example, if your MBA was awarded in September, your diploma should have arrived by Thanksgiving. Please update your mailing address at MyUMGC to ensure smooth delivery of your diploma.
