My diploma got officially shipped yesterday through the US Postal Service. Unfortunately there is no tracking number or estimate as to when it will arrive, fingers crossed in a few months or so it will arrive safely to my address in South Africa. This is the part I have been stressing about the most, especially as I'm not sure if they'd reissue the degree if it were to not arrive and UMPI doesn't provide an e-copy of the degree. Here's manifesting that South Africa's crappy postal service doesn't null all this work and money lolz.

I trust UPS, I just don't trust international and South Africa's postal system ha.

Next time if u will face the same situation, u can ask if u can order through DHL . U will have peace of mind. Since its an important doc, its worth to pay extra. UMPI will agree to use DHL if u send payment for shipment

If it doesn't come right I'm hoping they would be willing to reissue it for me and then I would definitely ensure that it was through a courier. Unfortunately it was mailed out yesterday before I could contact them, getting my degree confirmed has been quite the process ha.

It is a whole package not just a piece of paper in an envelope. My degree was reprinted due to a typo.

I don't know if UMPI will use DHL. DHL isn't available in most of the US. It only exists in large metros. UMPI is absolutely nowhere near a metro of any size. UPS or FedEx would be an option instead of the USPS.

Congrats! I assume you did the most from Sophia.org and the remainder from UMPI? How many terms did it take you again at UMPI?

I did 19 Sophia, 1 Study.com and the remaining 20 at UMPI. I finished in two sessions.
