Student Commencement Information

Diplomas
The Office of the Registrar is responsible for sending out diplomas to those qualifying students.  See approximate dates in the IMPORTANT GRADUATION DATES section. Please address all concerns about diplomas to the Office of the Registrar. graduation@morgan.edu

Commencement Portraits
Due to COVD19 restrictions, there will not be a portrait photographer on campus to take photos. Students are asked to visit their local photographer or photo studio for their Commencement pictures.

Commencement Photography
The University partners with a photography company that specializes in graduations and commencement ceremonies at academic institutions throughout North America. GradImages captures images of MSU graduates as students cross the stage and after they’ve exited the stage. These individual photographs are available directly from GradImages.

If a recent MSU graduate has not received an email communication from GradImages regarding Commencement photos, they may go to Gradimages.com, enter their information on the main homepage (pictured below), and then click “find my photos.” They can also contact the GradImages Customer Service Department directly at 800-261-2576 (United States) or 850-907-2740 (worldwide) for any additional information or assistance.
