When will I get my diploma?
Degrees will be conferred and diplomas will be issued to students upon completion of their degree requirements and after approval by the Tabor faculty and Board of Directors in February, May or October. Students who have all degree requirements completed by Commencement will receive their diplomas during the commencement ceremony.
