Helpful Tips for Updating Your Permanent Address in ACORN
The Office of Convocation will be couriering diplomas to 2021 graduates. It is imperative that your permanent address is up-to-date and correct in ACORN.
When you log into ACORN, click on Profile & Settings,

> then click on the pencil icon on the right-hand side of Permanent Address.
This will be the screen you see.
Complete all fields, including a telephone number local to the delivery address and click Save.
TIPS
- Couriers cannot deliver to a P.O. Box
- Include suite or unit numbers separately (eg. 100 University Avenue would be entered on line 1, and Suite 522 would be entered on line 2)
- If your building requires couriers use a buzzer code to deliver packages, include it!
- Include a valid, local telephone number in case the courier company requires more information to deliver. Your diploma will not ship without this!
- An adult must be available to receive the delivery and sign (or to follow the protocol at the time of delivery set by the courier company)
- Deliveries are made during regular business hours. Please check that the address selected meets this requirement
- For addresses in Asia, please write your address in English in ACORN; for added assurance but optional, you can then email the Office of Convocation with the following information:
- Your full name
- Your student number
- Your address written in English
- Your address written in the language of the country where it will be delivered (Chinese, Korean, etc.)
- A telephone number local to the delivery address
We will print the International address and affix it to your diploma envelope along with the English address.
Taking a few moments now to ensure your address is correct will prevent delays and surcharges once your diplomas has been shipped. Please see below for some samples of correctly entered addresses.
