The Bar Exam & Beyond

Graduates of UND School of Law have resources and services available to assist them with preparing for the Bar Exam and beginning their legal career.

Receiving Your Diploma or Transcript

A diploma folder is presented to each graduate during the commencement ceremony. Official diplomas will be mailed approximately eight weeks after commencement to your diploma mailing address as indicated on Campus Connection. Please update your diploma mailing address in your graduation application within 10 days prior to graduation.

It will take approximately eight weeks to for the University of North Dakota to receive verification of your degree from the School of Law, record this information on your permanent record, and prepare your diploma for mailing. If you need a transcript reflecting your earned degree, you may request a transcript be sent. Please mark "hold for degree" on your order form if your degree hasn't already been posted. If you need assistance, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 701.777.2711.

The University of North Dakota reserves the right to deny the release of a student's diploma if that student has any outstanding accounts receivable balances. Questions can be directed to One-Stop Student Services at 701.777.3911.
