All graduate cords are coordinated and distributed by the faculty advisor(s) for each CLA honors society.
Please note that cords are not distributed for latin honors, as final GPAs are not available until after all Commencement events.
Questions about honors cords? Contact the Dean's Office at cladean@drew.edu.
Please note: degrees are conferred in May, and all diplomas will be mailed to the address provided on the graduation application.
Diplomas typically arrive within 5-10 weeks after the conferral date, with international mailings being on the longer end of the time range.
