Diploma Services

The Office of the Registrar oversees the distribution of diplomas in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for Seaver College, Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, School of Public Policy, and the Graduate School of Education and Psychology. Caruso School of Law oversees the distribution of diplomas for their programs. Diplomas are mailed to the diploma address on record about 120 days after a degree is posted. Graduates receive an email confirmation sent to their Pepperdine email address once their degree has been posted.

The student name that will appear on the official Pepperdine diploma will match the primary name on the student’s WaveNet and official academic transcript. Students who wish to change their name as it appears in WaveNet must submit a name change request form and government-authorized identification to onestop@pepperdine.edu. The name change request must be completed before the student has graduated.

Certain holds or an invalid address will prevent your diploma from being printed until the problem is corrected.
