I just got mine yesterday, and I'm pretty happy with it too. Only thing is they left the cum laude seal off. I just called and confirmed that it should have had one, so I need to call the records department tomorrow and get a replacement.

Would either of you mind scanning it and posting it here so we could take a look. With the name covered or something for privacy...

That's it. Still 8.5" x 11". The signature on the left is different, and there are titles printed below the signatures. It's not the best-looking diploma I've ever seen (not that I remember ever studying one closely), but it looks fine to me. Looks like it was printed with a laser printer on a cream-colored card stock. I guess it's just that I was never expecting hand-etched 100% sheepskin parchment.

Road Trip!!

I say we all paint ourselves Purple and Gold and stage a rally in the parking lot of 7 Columbia Circle in beautiful Albany, NY and demand a change in the diploma - Go Globes!![/SIZE][/SIZE]

As much as I dig the idea-- I'd have to talk my wife into the trip! Big Grin

The image was removed by a Mod. Do a Google Images search on Excelsior Diploma. That's the image.
