<p>do CC and seas students get differnt diplomas when they graduate?
what about those who take 5 year special courses?
thanks</p>
<p>just curious</p>
<p>CC is in Latin, but SEAS is in English. They both look the same (same font, same paper size, same formatting, etc.). If you’re in a dual degree program, I’m pretty sure that you get two diplomas. If you double major, you still only get one (majors aren’t even listed on there).</p>
<p>thanks columbia 2002</p>
<p>What is the size of the diploma? Is it really non-standard size that would force you to either custom made a cover or buy overpriced frame from CU bookstore?</p>
<p>There’s some more info here: [Diplomas</a> - WikiCU, the Columbia University wiki encyclopedia](<a href=“http://www.wikicu.com/Diplomas]Diplomas”>Diplomas - WikiCU, the Columbia University wiki encyclopedia)</p>
<p>but it doesn’t really say what the exact size is.</p>
<p>anyone knows the exact size of CU diploma?</p>
<p>12.5 in. by 10.5 in.</p>
<p>how do u know?</p>
<p>Seems pretty standard. I was visiting a family friend recently and her SEAS diploma was about the same size as her husband’s BS and MS diplomas from another school.</p>
<p>I don’t think that there’s a conspiracy to manipulate diploma size to boost frame sales. After all, our book store is just a retrofit Barnes & Noble.</p>
<p>I measured a BC diploma which looks about the same size as the CC diploma.</p>
<p>According to wikicu, Columbia’s diploma size is larger than standard, which forces graduates to buy special-sized frame from the bookstore.</p>
<p>Yeah, but if WikiCU is an encyclopedia, it’s an encyclopedia of silliness, sentiment, and half-truths at the expense of Columbians, past and present.</p>
<p>I thought wikicu is quite helpful. Most of the stuff there seems to be true to me even though the tone might be a little sarcastic sometimes (not necessarily a bad thing).</p>
<p>wikicu seems about 75% true. The question is which is the 25% that’s not.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the registrar will mail out the diploma? I am set to officially graduate on October 19th, 2011. Do they mail out the diploma on Oct. 19th sharp?</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Did any October graduate receive their diploma in mail yet?</p>
<p>just got my diploma in the mail… it is indeed 10.5 in. by 12.5 in., just in case someone wants to know. </p>
<p>definitely curious if they made the choice on this size to boost the sale of frames in the CU bookstore… where else have you seen a frame that would fit a 10.5 by 12.5 diploma?</p>
