Locating:your university/college degrees

[shootingstar]

Of interest to folks, particularily recent graduates:

Your original degree..is a legal document.
This is the response I received when contacting my alma mater. They only issue a copy/photocopy.

And I did hear of a case where a woman was denied a job offer because she claimed she graduated with her MA...when actually she was about to be given it in about 3 months. Of course, release of transcript only happens parallel with granting of degree, as we graduates know already.

The electronic revolution will never replace this..plus birth certificate, passport, etc.

Any interested employer can do a search and find references of my involvement via professional associations where I've been a member, and references to articles I've written for the Internet. If you can pick me out from other folks with same name.
