This depends on what you mean by this question, but the blanket answer is that it doesn’t happen without warning.

Some colleges will let students walk in the ceremony with their class if they have under a certain number of credits missing, usually equivalent to one, maybe two classes. The student would have to complete those credits in the summer following graduation. In that case, the student would indeed receive a blank diploma at graduation. Other colleges don’t let students walk at graduation unless they have completed all of the classes they need to, so no, this doesn’t happen there.
