Diploma only, transcript only, or a package
Choose a diploma-only product for a framed display or keepsake. Choose a transcript-style product when a prop, archive, or coordinated visual record is part of the project. Select a package when both pieces should use consistent school text, student details, dates, and presentation choices. None of these options can be used to verify graduation, grades, credits, class rank, or attendance.
Ordering and proof review
- Select the product family and design route.
- Choose digital, printed, or combined delivery where offered.
- Enter the requested display details and check every spelling and date.
- Add only the optional signatures, emblem treatment, size, paid proof review where offered, copies, or presentation extras offered for that product.
- Review the final summary before adding the configured item to the cart.
Production begins after the required information and any selected paid-proof approval are complete. Carrier transit starts after a physical order is produced. If timing matters, use the estimate for the exact product and variant rather than relying on a general promise elsewhere on the site.
Common display sizes include 8.5 × 11 and 11 × 14 inches, but the chosen product’s finished size controls. Measure a frame or cover before ordering, especially when working from an older or unusually proportioned school document.
What to do when the school has closed
A closed school’s records may have moved to a district, successor school, state education agency, diocese, charter authorizer, or private records custodian. Search the former and current school names together and look for a records or transcript page on the school’s or district’s own domain. Keep the name used while enrolled, approximate attendance years, graduation year, student number if known, and any old correspondence that can help staff locate the record.
Do not assume a commemorative copy will solve a school-record problem. When a school cannot reprint a diploma, a school-issued transcript or verification letter is usually the correct evidence route. The HeyCongrats collection remains a separate option for display and keepsake needs only.
