Diplomas are printed with the title of the degree, and not with the name of the major or minor. Some degree titles include an area of study, and many do not. Three examples of degrees are: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and Bachelor of Science. You may view your exact degree title, major, and minor on the pdf version of your transcript available on myPortal. If you would like additional information, please contact the Registrar’s Office.
Students may choose how they want their name on the diploma. Most students use a middle name or middle initial, but this is not required.
Once all holds are removed, all diploma information will be emailed one to four weeks after degree completion. Watch your Trine email address for details. The email with your digital diploma will come from Parchment.com
Physical diplomas will be mailed approximately four to six weeks after the end of the last semester.
Students will not receive diplomas if they are ‘on hold’ with any University Office. Once all holds are removed, please contact the Registrar’s Office to request the mailing of your diploma.
Caps and gowns are navy. If you have not yet purchased your cap and gown, please place your order online by as soon as possible.

The Office of the Registrar provides official transcripts for Trine/Tri-State University students and alumni. To request an official transcript you will need to create an account through the Parchment website. You will enter your unique credentials for verification on Parchment.
Students may order transcripts in their last semester and mark “Hold for Degree.” This marking will allow the Office of the Registrar to send the final transcript with earned degree information and grades after all information is posted, approximately one week after the end of the term.
The cost for transcripts is $10 each for digital or paper transcripts. Additional fees may be added for expedited shipping.
Trine University has contracted GradImages to take individual pictures. Proofs will be sent to each graduate, with no obligation to buy.
On Commencement day, all drivers must enter campus using South Darling Street. Graduates will be directed to designated parking. Guests will be directed to disability-accessible parking or general parking areas. A campus map is available here. Questions about parking should be referred to Campus Operations at 260-665-4155.
