Per the ATSU Catalog all graduates, residential and distance, are required to attend one of the annual ATSU commencement ceremonies in Mesa, Arizona.
All students of the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health must complete a Petition to Graduate no later than the first week of the quarter in which they will complete all coursework. This will begin the process of degree audits and ordering of diplomas.
Diplomas will be ordered after all grades are received at the end of an academic quarter/semester. It will take approximately 10-12 weeks after you graduate to receive your diploma.
In order to ensure that your diploma is sent to the correct address, we ask that you provide the correct address when you submit the Petition to Graduate form.
Contact the Registrar if you have any questions concerning your diploma.
Official transcripts can be ordered from the registrar. The form is online at: http://www.atsu.edu/registrar/forms.htm Please note that if you need proof of your degree for licensure or employment you can request a letter of verification along with an official transcript from the registrar’s office.
