Graduates may request an official "Certificate of Graduation", also known as a graduation verification, from the Office of the University Registrar.
The Certificate details the graduate's name, degree(s) awarded, major(s) and minor(s), applicable honors,
graduation date(s), and the awarding school(s). It is signed by the Registrar and is imprinted with the official
University Seal.
Certificates of Graduation are available free-of-charge at the Registrar's Office for all schools except LAW, MED*, and SDM.
(Students in those Schools should contact the records offices in their Schools.) Certificates must be requested in writing by
mail or by fax, or by visiting the Registrar's Office during regular business hours. The fax number for the
verification office is 617-358-6046.
In most cases a Certificate of Graduation can be produced immediately. However, it may take up to 48 hours for a student
who attended Boston University before 1986.
*A graduate from the Medical School's M.A or Ph.D. program may obtain a Certificate of Graduation from the Registrar's Office

- Full name, including any former names
