Diplomas
During the Commencement Ceremony, you will be presented with an official LCSC diploma cover. Your actual degree will not be processed until you have completed all required coursework and passing grades recorded. Diplomas are distributed by mail to the student's permanent home address within two weeks of the degree being posted to the transcript. Duplicate diplomas can be ordered in the event that a diploma is lost or destroyed. There is an additional fee for duplicate diploma orders.
