Diplomas
The official diploma will be mailed after the ceremony to the address indicated on the graduation application (unless academic requirements are not met or there is a hold on your account).
Custom Diploma Frames
Custom diploma frames are available through the Student Affairs Office. There are two options: a high gloss black frame with gold trim and a contemporary black frame. Both come with a custom double mat, in black and gold, which has the college seal and name embossed in gold. The frames are designed to hold an 11″ by 14″ diploma.
The cost of each frame is $85 plus tax if they are purchased on campus and $115 plus tax if they need to be shipped. This price reflects the actual costs. They are also available through the framing company’s website, www.framingsuccess.com.
If you would like to order a frame you can stop by the Student Affairs Office during business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or contact us at 313.664.7879 or studentlife@collegeforcreativestudies.edu.
