A: Diplomas are mailed approximately four months after graduation by the main campus. If you have any questions about diplomas at all, please email Maggie Jacobs at brydolf6@berkeley.edu who works on the main campus. 

A: Please see this page under “Make Sure My Name is Correct on My Diploma” for information on how to verify the accuracy of your name for your diploma. 

A: To keep your Berkeley email active, you’ll need to complete the Alumni Opt-in Process after you graduate and before the end of your grace period, which is 274 days from graduation. You’ll need to do these three things:

1. Review the updated Berkeley Alumni Email Service Level Agreement
2. Complete the alumni email account opt-in process form
3. Reduce the overall storage in your Google account below 5 GB

Note: After opting-in, alumni must keep their Google Storage usage under 5 GB and log in to their account in a web browser at least once in a 6-month period to retain uninterrupted access to their account.

Information about access to library resources will be added to this space soon.

A: Your Cal1Cards will give you access to the Law Building through the end of July so that you can study at the Law Building and use your locker until then. Please note that since you will no longer be enrolled students, main campus will not issue you a new Cal1Card if you lost it after you graduate. If you are leaving town before the end of July, please be sure to clean out your locker before you do so.

You should contact University Health Services (UHS) directly with any questions regarding student insurance or access to health services. This UHS website has helpful information and may answer your questions. UHS also has a website with information about insurance after graduation.
