Excelsior Diploma RANT
#31
Oh don't get me wrong....it's the meaning behind it that counts. I just figure Excelsior could make it look a little more classy. Like this:

[Image: EmbossedEditionGallery.jpg]
[COLOR="Blue"]Excelsior College
102 credits complete
20 UL Credits to go (7 tests)
BS Liberal Studies
Area of Focus:Computer Information Science
[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Red"]Next test:
Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union (August 6th)[/COLOR]

You could take 25 DSST tests or 27 CLEP tests for the price of 1 UoP class.

I see what you mean. That IS very attractive.

[SIZE="2"]Something to think about......In today's world of massive identity thieves I would STRONGLY SUGGEST that you DELETE and/or DISABLE the link to the aforementioned diploma image. Unless of course you want the diploma to be available for WWW access for all the world to see, copy, print, and use?[/SIZE]

I'd be happy to delete the link, but that person's diploma will still be on their personal website and be relatively easy to find. I'm not sure of the value of a fake diploma in itself, though. Most employers want an official transcript to verify a degree, not the diploma.

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Like I said ....just something to think about.

I guess that's his business if he wants to display the diploma but we don't have to spread it around.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

For 130.00 to 140.00 I'm sure you could get one framed with the mating like the one listed.

I'm going to e-mail Excelsior next week and implore them to make a change to the font. The two examples above completely outclass Excelsiors.

As did I, all the way to the top, and it appears as though they could care less. $480.00 for a poorly designed powerpoint slide...at least I got a gold sticker with it though!Big Grin
