How to Register & Download the CeDiploma

Once your CeDiploma is available, you can access your CeDiploma by clicking Register/Download now. The Penn diploma is printed in Latin. The CeDiploma is an exact replica and is also printed in Latin.

Your CeDiploma does not become available until your degree is conferred on your academic records. Typically, the physical diploma and the CeDiploma are created at the same time. This means that the same timelines apply to the physical and CeDiploma (e.g., if your physical diploma would normally ship two months after graduation, you will have access to your CeDiploma approximately two months after graduation). The advantage of the CeDiploma is that you do not have to wait for shipping; you can access the CeDiploma while you wait for your physical diploma to arrive.

If you urgently require a diploma for certification or employment, you can purchase early access to your certified electronic diploma (CeDiploma). CeDiplomas are only made available after a student's degree or degrees are conferred to their academic records. For more information, please see the "What if I urgently need my diploma?" section of the Diploma FAQs for Graduating Students webpage.
