Diploma Mailing Information

Due to the volume of diplomas that need to be mailed under these unprecedented circumstances, we cannot hold diplomas. If you do not add a diploma mailing address in my.harvard by the deadline, you automatically consent to receive your diploma at your permanent address. If you are in transition, please consider adding the address of a trusted family member or friend as your diploma mailing address. If you run into any issues, email enrollment@fas.harvard.edu. You can edit your diploma mailing address as many times as needed until the deadline passes. Diplomas for May degree candidates will be mailed within 2 weeks of the conferral date.

• Harvard College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences will be mailing diplomas for May 2021 graduates after degrees are conferred. Diplomas will be mailed within two weeks of conferral and can take up to two weeks for delivery, potentially longer for international students.
