Financial Holds

The University of Memphis holds diplomas for any graduate who has a financial obligation with the University of Memphis. Please Contact University & Student Business Services about clearing your hold. The financial hold must show cleared in the University’s system before Commencement can begin the process of the diploma. Once your hold has cleared the University’s system, contact us directly with your Full Name, Unumber, Major and Full Mailing Address.

Financial Responsibility Statement (FRS) – If you have an FRS hold on your account for a future term and you are graduating in an earlier term, please be advised that the FRS hold will NOT hold your diploma, transcript, or any of your records. The FRS hold is not an actual hold, and it does not mean that you have a balance at the University of Memphis. The FRS Hold is placed automatically on all active students and all students who are registering must acknowledge this financial responsibility statement. If you are not planning to register in a future term, no worries! You can ignore this hold on your record as it will have no impact to you.

Digital Diplomas: The University of Memphis offers digital diplomas at no cost for graduating students (December 2024 and forward) via a link that will be emailed after the degree is awarded in the system. Please be sure to check your University of Memphis email after graduation for your digital diploma notification.

Verification of Degree: Some graduates need confirmation that they have graduated from Employers, Agencies, and other Organizations. In most all cases, the organization or employer is not asking for your diploma specifically. Even if the wording says diploma, they simply need proof that you have graduated. Thus, you can simply to your MyMemphis account and find your Unofficial Transcript and locate the information on the transcript that states you have graduated. It even says the date. Continue to read on about the diploma process and how to update addresses, if needed.

Conferral Date: The conferral date is always the weekend date following the last final. 

Diplomas: What do they look like? What is on them? 

Diplomas will only reflect the degree name, any undergraduate honors distinctions, and undergraduate departmental honors. Majors, Minors and Concentrations are available on your transcripts and will not be placed on the diploma. Graduate Students do not have honors distinction.
