Diploma Distribution Information

SHRP celebrates three graduation periods each calendar year: January, May and September. Following each graduation date, confirmed graduates should contact Enrollment Services to follow-up on the status of their diploma. Graduates of undergraduate joint programs should expect for their diploma to become available a few weeks following their graduation date due to the need to receive appropriate signatures from their affiliate school.

Certificates and Diplomas will only be released to graduates after confirming that all degree requirements have been met and any encumbrances have been cleared. Examples of these holds include: account balance, financial aid, library or student loans.

Graduates who have paid tuition to their affiliate school should request their final transcript and diploma from their affiliate. Diplomas may be picked-up at our Enrollment Services Center , located at the Newark campus. For graduates that live a significant distance from Newark , certificates and diplomas may be mailed by completing and submitting an Official Certificate/Diploma Release Form.

All students attending SHRP are assessed a one-time graduation fee during their first semester of matriculation. UMDNJ paying students are charged $80.00 and students paying tuition and fees to partner institutions of a joint program are assessed a graduation fee of $40.00. Joint program students may also be charged a graduation fee by their partnering school.

Graduates that attend the Commencement ceremony each May will be able to receive their Alumni Certificate and/or diploma following the ceremony if all pending requirements and holds have been met.

Graduates interested in ordering diploma frames for their diploma may visit either the Matthews Book Store located at the Newark campus or order directly online from DiplomaFrame.com. Click here to view the brochure.
