Hi everyone, I've misplaced my high school diploma, and I'm not sure what to do. Can I request a duplicate copy of it? If so, who should I contact? Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi there! Sorry to hear that you've misplaced your high school diploma. The good news is that you can request a duplicate copy of your diploma. You'll need to reach out to your high school's main office or the school district's office, depending on your school's policies.
You'll likely need to provide some personal information, such as your full name, date of birth, and year of graduation. There may also be a small fee associated with getting a duplicate copy.
It's also worth noting that most colleges and employers will typically ask for your high school transcript rather than your diploma. Transcripts provide more detailed information about your coursework and grades, so you might want to request a copy of that if you haven't already.
The process for requesting a transcript is similar to that of requesting a diploma. Once again, contact your high school's main office or the school district's office to inquire about the specific steps and any necessary fees.
I hope this helps, and good luck with acquiring your duplicate diploma or transcript!
