Absence from Campus
All students who will be absent from class for any reason should complete the Absence Notification Online Form. This form is submitted to the Dean of Students, who will forward it to the individual faculty members listed to notify of the reason for an absence. Some professors rely on this form and track reasons for an absence. Others only count total numbers of absences. If a student is in doubt about the policy in a given class, he or she should check with the instructor. The Dean of Students does not have the authority to excuse any absences. For any student who will be absent from class for more than three days due to a medical or personal emergency, please contact the Dean of Students Office directly at (305) 284-4551 or jstearns@law.miami.edu to discuss the circumstances.

Diplomas
Diplomas are not ordered until all holds have been cleared.
Participation in the Commencement Ceremony or the listing of a student’s name in the Commencement Book in no way implies or ensures graduation. A student’s graduation is contingent upon successful completion of the degree requirements and approval by the academic school or college.
If there are no holds, diplomas are ordered automatically the following week after the degree is posted to your transcript. Diplomas are mailed directly from the printing company to the address entered in CaneLink at the time you applied for graduation. Once the order is placed, it may take up to two additional weeks to receive your diploma.
If there are any changes after the application is submitted, you must notify the Law Registrar in person or in writing of the new address for your diploma. You can update your address on CaneLink, and then send an email to lawreg@law.miami.edu and request your diploma to be mailed to your new address.
Please note that posting degrees takes several weeks after graduation.
Diploma Name
The name on your diploma will default to the official name on your student record in Canelink. To update your diploma name to something other than a variation of your official name, please see the “Official Name Change” section on this webpage.
