Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() My son graduated 1 year ago from Texas Tech, after taking 2 more online courses. At first they told him diploma was in the mail, then they said it would be mailed the next semester. His employer was able to get a transcript showing that he graduated. Although they have sent me bills to pay for college, they can not give me any information as far as grades go. My wife and I would really like to see a piece of paper. Is there something I can do, or should I just forget about it? Thanks for the advice |

I'd call the Dean's office or someone higher up until you can get someone who will do something about it...... |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Enough with the phone calls. Send them a letter. First letter is very polite. Second letter demands a diploma. Third letter... To be honest, most schools have better things to do than deal with alumni - you've already incurred tuition bills - your use is over for them. Therefore, you become second-class citizens. My other suggestion is coordinate your efforts through the alumni office - those are the people who will make you happy b/c they want you to donate $$... |

Frankly, it's about time Mac won something. Like him. Can't stand the team. CRIMSON AND CREAM!!!!!!! |

Have him fill out one of these: http://www.depts.ttu.edu/registrar/ORDox/Transcript_Request_Form.pd... Set yourself as the transcript recipient. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Get the piece of paper. A friend of mine didn't do this. He had one class to finish up his degree. He took the class, turned in a final paper and assumed everything was done. 20 years later a prospective employer checked on his degree and his college said he didn't graduate! It is truly a mess and he's having a $%#^ of a time getting it figured out. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks for everyones advice and jokes. I have sent him the link for the transcript, and like someone posted after he took the last course online, other than word of mouth there is no proof that he graduated. Thanks again; Dwayne |

![]() | ![]() This may sound like a stupid question, but does he have unpaid parking tickets or overdue library books (I know that's probably not very likely). My college would hold your diploma because of those things. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Even though you may have paid the bills, your son is an adult and the school will not discuss his grades/account with you as you are not his legal guardian. He needs to contact the school and get the diploma himself. It took my husband 2 years after he finished his last class to get the diploma. There is a 2 year gap on his transcripts from the time he completed the course to the time that it shows him graduated b/c they wouldn't backdate the diploma. Make sure your son has done the graduation audits and paid any necessary processing (graduation) fees that may exist. Also he needs to have an outstanding accounts audit done to make sure he doesn't have any parking tickets, lab fees, library fees, etc. as those will also hold up the diploma. |

Runner | ![]() A transcript saying he graduated is more valuable than a diploma. If his employer got one that says he graduated, what more is there to worry about? |
