Digital Diplomas
Introducing Digital Diplomas for Spring 2023 Graduates and Beyond.......
K-State has teamed up with Parchment to begin offering an official digital version of your diploma starting with the spring 2023 graduation.
All students earning an Associate, Bachelor, Master, Doctoral degree as of Spring 2023 will not only receive an original hard copy of their diploma but will also receive an official digital version.
Additionally, students earning an official credit bearing Certificate will also be included in the official digital process.
