Hey guys, does anyone know how I can prove I graduated from high school without having my actual diploma? Is there another form of documentation like a transcript or a letter I could use? Thanks in advance!
Hey! You're absolutely right that there are other ways to prove high school graduation without your physical diploma. Most colleges and employers will typically accept an official transcript, which is a more detailed document showing your courses, grades, and graduation date. You can request an official transcript from your high school's registrar or counseling office.
In some cases, you might also ask your school for a letter of verification or certificate of graduation, which is a document attesting that you have successfully completed your high school education. This is usually signed by a school official, such as the principal or a counselor. Don't forget to keep contact information for your high school readily available, just in case the college or employer wants to verify your graduation directly with the school.
While it's a good idea to keep your original diploma in a safe location, the official transcript or a letter of verification are generally more widely accepted and requested when dealing with college applications or job searches. Best of luck to you!
