Graduation and Commencement: Electronic Diplomas
Digital Diplomas
Starting with Fall 2025 Graduates all students will receive a digital diploma and a paper diploma!
Digital Diplomas - Share your Accomplishment!
Different from a transcript.
-
- Unlimited sharing with family, friends, employers and social media.
- Proof of education with only the important details.
- Simple for employers to read and understand.
Highly secure
- Each Digital Diploma is sent with end-to-end encryption
- Contains a digital verification seal so future employers, state government licensing agencies and any other entity can validate your achievement.
- The document is digitally signed and encrypted, providing greater trust and acceptance
Note: Students with CeDiplomas can continue to use and validate their credentials using the validation link on our website.
How do I access my digital diploma?
- For students graduating in Fall 2025 or later, you will receive an email after we have verified your requirements and awarded your degree.
- For help claiming your digital diploma, Parchment (our credential partner) has provided documentation: https://parchment.my.site.com/s/article/Claiming-Your-Digital-Diploma-Certificate-Or-Badge?language=en_US
- The email will be sent to your personal email address on file.
- There is no additional cost for your digital diploma. Claim it! Share it!
I graduated before Fall 2025, how do I get a digital diploma?
If you purchased a CeDiploma when you graduated, rest assured it will still work for you! Here is our validation link: https://www.wcupa.edu/registrar/cediplomavalidation/
If you did not order a digital diploma when you graduated, no problem!
Visit the Parchment storefront and order a replacement diploma. All replacement orders will come with a digital
and print copy. The only difference between your original credential and the replacement
is the signatures will refresh those currently in the positions (i.e. current WCU
president). Digital diplomas should be received within one week of order and paper
diplomas around 2-3 weeks for production and shipping time.
