If your degree has been posted to your record and you hold for degree expect processing delays.
Do not HOLD for grades after the last day of instruction – wait for your grades to be in before ordering.
Grades shown on GOLD are not necessarily on your permanent record yet.

Pay with a credit card to complete order

If you allow the system to idle it may result in a temporary pre-charge that will show on your financial account 5-10 days. This is not an order payment if your order wasn’t completed – a new order and payment will be needed.
