Diploma at Commencement? - KAnn - 07-07-2018
Hi All,
I will be at TESU's graduation this September. Thanks to all the help and support from forum members, I went from 40 credits to a BA in 20 months. The assistance provided here can literally change people's lives. Thank you!
Regarding the commencement ceremony, do they hand graduates a symbolic diploma and shake their hand as they walk the stage?
Thanks!

How long after you finished did it come in the mail?

I thought I had seen them do this in the 2016 video of commencement, but 2017 does not show this. I do know that they will have a photographer there to take those classic graduation with diploma style photos - https://www.tesu.edu/current-students/legacy
EDIT: I found the 2016 video and it does show them handing out a symbolic diploma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SKoumgS8Pk, the 2017 video is just taken at a much more limited viewpoint to see this (I prefer the previous years wider stance)
