Just wondering if there's a way to verify my high school diploma without the physical copy. Is there something like a diploma lookup available online or should I reach out to my school counselor for help? Thanks!
There isn't typically an online diploma lookup for verifying high school diplomas. However, you can obtain verification through a few different methods:
1. Contact your high school: Reach out to your school's registrar or counseling office and request a transcript or a letter confirming your graduation. They should have records of your diploma and can provide you with the necessary verification.
2. Reach out to the school district: If you're unable to contact your high school directly, try contacting your school district's office. They may also have the necessary records and can help verify your diploma.
3. Request your transcript: In many cases, your high school transcript is considered adequate proof of graduation. You can request a copy of your transcript from your high school or school district, which will usually include your graduation date and grades earned.
Keep in mind, when employers or colleges request verification of your diploma, they usually accept a transcript or an official letter from the school as valid proof. Always check which documents are accepted for the specific situation and follow the appropriate process to obtain them.
