William Carey University conducts a Commencement Ceremony in May and August each year. Please use the information below to prepare for your graduation.

Students who complete their degrees in the Fall or Winter Terms may participate in the May Commencement ceremonies. Degree awarding, to appear on your transcript, will occur once all degree requirements are conferred by the Dean of your college. Once degrees are conferred, diplomas will be mailed to you with 4-6 weeks to the address you provided on your degree application. You will receive a digital copy of your diploma within a week of your degree conferral and ceremony.

If you would like to receive your diploma without walking in the formal ceremony, the graduation deadlines still apply.

Caps and gowns are only purchased in the bookstore with separate fees to apply.

All degree verifications are handled by The National Student Clearinghouse. The National Student Clearinghouse can be contacted at:

 All calls received in the Registrar's Office requesting verification of student degrees are referred to The National Student Clearinghouse. Any degrees that are not registered with The Clearinghouse are sent from the Registrar's Office to The Clearinghouse directly upon request to be added to The Clearinghouse database. The information is then passed on to the requestor from The Clearinghouse rather than from the Registrar's Office.

Enrollment is verified by The National Student Clearinghouse.  The National Student Clearinghouse can be contacted at:

For small companies and student verifications in the office, the student completes the form provided, and the verifications are done in the office. These forms are usually picked up by the students. Unless the student has signed release forms, only general directory information is given.

Forms are sent to The Clearinghouse from the Registrar's Office once weekly, usually mailed out on Fridays.

Electronic Diplomas

Beginning with the August 2025 class, WCU offers graduates a Certified Electronic Diploma (CeDiploma). This is a true replication of the paper diploma that can be authenticated by the recipient. CeDiplomas are available once the initial paper diploma has been issued and are no cost to the graduate. Review the WCU CeDiploma webpage for more information.
