Locating:your university/college degrees

[redrhodie]

Can't you just get transcripts and other paperwork from your university?

They want to see her diploma! Weird. I think that would be easier to forge than the transcripts.

All three of mine are in my cedar chest, never to be looked at again most likely.

I have no idea where mine is.
I don't even know what state it's in.
It could be in Maryland.
I suspect it's in Connecticut at the old family home.

The transcript route is very easy now that most universities can send them electronically. My institution doesn't even charge a fee if they can be sent electronically. Good luck with the search. I hope you aren't like me and spend way to much time going down memory lane when you are looking for something.

I paid $40.00CAN and that was pricing at 1/4 century ago for 2 original copies of my transcript each with a watermark for authentication purposes.

I would not expect the university to give me a free electronic one.

Well, it's not really memory lane so far. But have now unearthed 8 brand-new bras I squirrelled away in the big packing. Still can fit them. To me, that's saving some $$$$ for something unrelated to all this.

No way transcripts would be anywhere near $40 today.

Even when I send out official, watermarked, sealed, i's dotted and t's crossed transcripts it's no more than $8 US (normally $2 to $4). And yes, online copies are free, but they are not official. I expect the universities I attended could also get me a copy (official) of my diploma if need be as well (for a small fee of course).

I'd call up the university you are missing and see what they can do. You might be surprised.

Gosh, this brings back memories. Back in 2003, I had to provide copies of my diplomas for my current job. Very bizarre. Odder still, they fussed about the fact that I couldn't locate my high school diploma (I have a BA and 3 graduate degrees). Bureaucrats gone wild. I was 45 at the time!!!!

I would agree. I will be taking a stab at this..before going transcript route as a last resort. I saw my degrees before I did my massive home packing when I moved to Vancouver from Ontario.

For this organization, it is a matter of procedure..they are used to doing this. Their organization is full of employees and also deals with their stakeholder clients who are registered/certified professionals themselves.

Anyway, so far I've located my sundresses that I sewed from eons ago which I can still fit from...27 yrs. ago. Still looking for the hiding spot.

Aiyaaaah, even having alot of job experience directly related to my degree, with job titles, that do point to my degree, is not enough....?
