If TESU graduates accept mediocre diplomas then TESU will just keep cranking them out. Why have higher standards?
I have made it known 3-4 times to Excelsior College that not putting the Major is unsat. Letters, emails, and college Facebook. I[b] personally will not frame mine. In 2018, all Universities should have higher standards. Glad, I did not have TESU/EC lack of attention to details (diplomas) when I was writing my term papers.  [/b]

Personally, I think the diplomas are a little plain-looking but are fine. It'd be nice if the AOS was included, but not being there isn't a dealbreaker, IMO.

I was thinking that!
My mom never set foot on her campus either, she did an employer-based cohort program at work once a week in the evenings. So she probably didn't recognize her school either! It might not even BE A lithograph of her school, and she wouldn't know!

My high school diploma came with one of those depictions of the school. It is bizarre, though. It shows two of the buildings and those are very identifiable as what buildings those are supposed to be. But, it’s like the artist viewed the campus on some alternate version of the universe where the campus is located on a completely flat plot of land and all the hills in front of and between those two buildings do not exist as I knew them.

I know this thread is a few weeks old but I sat down and compared my diploma to my husband's diploma. His is from 1996, at another college. I see his has five signatures. The college President's is the most prominent over the seal. Then each department head signed - two signatures on each side. Those extra signatures just look more official in my opinion. However, that said, TESU's gold seal is more impressive. Once framed, both diplomas look pretty good. Not as impressive as some I've seen, but not the worst by far.

Does it come in a basic frame? I'm assuming they don't just throw it in a padded envelope and let it rip.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.
