Diploma

The diploma is ordered with your name as it appears on your student record.  You may elect to use your middle name or initial on the Application without submitting official documentation. 

If you anticipate formally changing your name before completing the requirements for the MD degree, and you wish your new name to be reflected on your diploma, you must present official documentation (e.g., marriage certificate, naturalization papers, etc.) to the Office of the Registrar by February 1, 2008.  If your name becomes official after the February 1st deadline, you will be required to submit official documentation of the name change prior to receiving your diploma.  Any questions regarding this procedure should be directed to the Office of the Registrar. 

Please note: Diplomas are ordered in your official name at the time of graduation.  Diplomas will not be ordered with a name that changes officially AFTER the graduation date.
