I was a Meadows student and due to credits, was able to turn a minor into a second major within Dedman by taking a few more classes. When they told me I would have to apply for graduation at both schools that made me wonder what my diploma would actually say, if anything in regards to the two schools. Two diplomas?

I had a BS and a BA so I got two diplomas

Hmm..mine will both BAs. I had asked in the main advising office but the person wasn't sure.

You get two diplomas no matter what. Same school, same degree (BA/BS), whatever. You'll always get a diploma for each one.

I ended up with two SMU diplomas the same way. At graduation, I had to pick one "school" graduation to attend.

I had a BS and a BA and only got one diploma

BA - one in Meadows one in Dedman.
You get one degree if both BA.

I had a BA and BS, but they only gave my a diploma for the BA. I didn't care enough to call and bug them for a separate one for my BS. You can walk at both, one, or neither of the ceremonies.

When did you graduate? I'm seeing that they now have an all-school graduation ceremony and then a diploma awarding ceremony later that day at separate times per school/major.

Slight update. Graduation was this past Saturday and while I had a double major from two different schools, only received one diploma with signatures from both deans.

The must be trying to save the environment. I got a BS & a BA from two different schools. Received two diplomas, that's 6 years ago though.
