Congratulations to the NYU Wagner Class of 2021!
NYU Wagner's Grad Celebration will premiere on May 20 at 11am ET.
Congratulations to graduates recognized with Awards and Distinctions!
YOUR DIPLOMA
The NYU Registrar mails diplomas to your permanent address approximately eight weeks after the degree is posted to your record. You should update your address in Albert to ensure the diploma is sent to the correct address.
By default, your "primary" name (as it is entered in Albert and as it appears on your NYU transcript) is printed on your diploma. You can elect to have your "preferred" (or chosen) name (as it is entered in Albert) printed on your diploma by updating the Diploma Options page in your Student Center before your conferral date.
