PCOM holds commencement ceremonies at each campus location.
All students who plan to attend and walk in the Commencement ceremony must complete the Commencement Ceremony Clearance (C3) Form. The form is also used to confirm that all requirements for graduation have been met. Participation in the Commencement ceremony is at the discretion of your program director.
An email is sent to prospective degree candidates in each program several months prior to graduation requesting information. The email is sent to students on track to complete their degree requirements during that calendar year. If you do not receive an email by December 16 of that year, then you should email the Registrar Office at registrar@pcom.edu to be added to the prospective graduation list. Students who fail to meet the January 15th, 2026, deadline will not be able to participate in Commencement.
After the Commencement ceremony and once your conferral date has passed, the registrar team will begin degree audits. Once your degree is awarded and appears on your transcript, we will begin to ship degrees. Please provide a permanent address for degree shipments. When ordering transcripts there is an option to hold your order for final grades and until your degree is awarded. The registrar team is on hand to assist with credentialing needs.
If you lose or damage your diploma, you may order a replacement.
Requests cannot be processed without a signature (and therefore email and telephone requests cannot be honored). Students are required to provide two copies of legal documentation to receive a diploma. We are unable to print a replacement diploma for anyone other than the graduate.
Please send your request to:
PCOM
Registrar Office
4190 City Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19131
Upon receipt of your request and confirmation of your degree earned, a replacement diploma will be ordered. You may expect to receive your diploma within seven to nine weeks of the date that the request was received.
