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.
