no tracking code or anything. WTF? this is one of the better engineering universities in my country but they couldn't spring for courier post?!?

Why would there be? The diploma has no actual weight for proving you graduated it is just something for yourself to hang on your wall. To actually prove you graduated one would do a verification with the NSC or by ordering an official transcript.

To chime in, this is something administration does in the event you decide to something like walk up to the stage, drop trou and take a gigantic poo poo in front of the dean and faculty, then slip and fall pratfall-style in your own feces followed by a triumphant rise to your feet smeared in your own poo poo proclaiming "Now I'm ready for the real world!" to thunderous applause.

We are talking about a graduate degree here, right?

It is actually because most universities allow people to walk at commencement who haven't technically been conferred a degree yet. Can't exactly give out a diploma for something you haven't technically earned yet. There is also the logistics of actually preparing all of that poo poo and when you have a thousand or more people walking gently caress that.
