Search Emails
If you are inquiring if your physical certificate/diploma is on the way, please first check their BYU-Idaho email account. You will receive emails throughout the entire application process: through the review of your application, for the award of the certificate/diploma, when your certificate/diploma is put in the mail, and with access to your eCertificate, etc. Oftentimes those emails get lost with others you may have, so if you can check for those emails (from graduation@byui.edu or Michael Sutter- a third-party diploma partner) you often will find what you are looking for.

Certificates/Diplomas Awarded Once a Semester:
BYU-Idaho no longer retroactively awards degrees or certificates. This means that certificates/diplomas will not be awarded immediately. If you apply for a certificate/diploma that you completed three semesters ago, you will need to be aware that you will be awarded the certificate/diploma for that current semester. BYU-Idaho will wait and award certificates/diplomas with the rest of the qualifying applicants for that semester.

Other:
If you know that you have applied for a certificate/diploma and you haven’t received any email notifications about it within two weeks after applying, please reach out via email to: graduation@byui.edu.
