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

Students who complete their degrees in the August can walk in the December Commencement. Degrees are conferred the week after commencement once all final grades have been submitted. Diplomas are mailed via USPS to your specified address 3 to 5 weeks after degree conferral. December graduates will be impacted by holiday closure, causing a 2 week delay in shipping. 

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

Regalia can only be purchased through the WCU bookstore or online through Oak Hall. Click here to order online.

More details are available on Commencement webpage. 

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

Degree Verification Info

 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:

Enrollment Verification Info

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.
