Certified Electronic Diploma (CeDiploma)

Beginning with graduates in Fall 2025, the University of Pittsburgh is providing a Certified Electronic Diploma (CeDiploma).  This digital version of your diploma will be provided free of charge, along with the standard paper diploma.  At this time, the CeDiploma is not available for degrees conferred prior to Fall 2025, but we anticipate providing this as an optional service in the near future.

Accessing Your Digital Diploma or Certificate

You will be notified via email with a downloadable link for your credential once it is ready, courtesy of our trusted partner, CeCredential Trust®. Should you need a new link, you can request it through the CeCredential Trust website.
