• Approved:  all requirements have been successfully completed
• Approved Pending: approved for your degree contingent upon successful completion of all work that may be in progress

Getting Your Diploma

Students attending New York campuses:  Your diploma will be mailed to your address on record and is usually available 8-10 weeks after graduation.  Diplomas of students in arrears, or who have other holds, will be held until their obligations to NYIT have been fulfilled. Once your obligations have been cleared you must obtain approval from the Office of the Bursar to have your diploma released.  Your diplomas can be then picked up at the Office of the Registrar by you or a designee.  Complete a Diploma Pick-Up Form (PDF) and bring it to the Office of the Registrar along with photo identification.  If you are unable to pick up your diploma, it can be mailed to you by submitting a Diploma Mailing Request Form (PDF).

Students attending global campuses: Contact the Office of the Registrar at your campus.  All financial or other obligations must be fulfilled to receive your diploma.
