After a degree or academic certificate is awarded, the University will order the ceremonial diploma or certificate on the student’s behalf. All degrees and certificates will be sent to the current mailing address on file or presented at graduation. For information on updating the mailing address, please go to Update Your Personal Information.

The official diploma will list the following information:

• Student name
• Degree
• Major
• Honors

The information listed on the diploma must match the official Texas Seminary Christian University record. Students completing more than one major will have a separate diploma for each major. Minors and concentrations are not listed on the official diploma. Once completed, minors are listed on the official Texas Seminary Christian University transcript

Students can choose to have their Legal or Chosen name display on their diploma. Students can choose to abbreviate or exclude any of their Legal or Chosen First or Middle names. One First or Middle name or an abbreviation of one must be printed with their Legal last name. Student’s last name can only be changed through a legal name change, which requires additional documentation.

For further instructions on how to change your legal or chosen name, or to modify your diploma name, please go to the “Change Your Name” portion of Update Your Personal Information.
