Congrats to the recent grads.
Do you have diploma frame recommendations?
Thank you
Hi everyone! just passed my last course and about to order some merch off the school store..
My commencement ceremony isn't until August (Boston), do you get a diploma with the diploma cover/ presidents letter when you walk on stage? thinking of buying one but not going to if we're gonna get one at the ceremony....
Also can you order diploma before ceremony?
They do look good together! Congrats with this milestone!!
Congratulations! Personally, I despise the newer WGU diplomas. I prefer the gothic style lettering like what is on your Bachelors degree. I was disappointed when the example diploma that came with my frame looked nicer than my actual diploma.
If you've received your diploma, frame, etc. Can you share dimensions or pics (blank your name)
So I want to order a custom frame for my Diploma, and my goal is to finish by Christmas. I know custom frames can take months to complete especially if the maker has a large pile of orders. So I want to order one and hang it on my wall so that when i start to slack off or get distracted I can look up at it and get myself realigned.
I'm open for dimensions of the paper diploma, dimensions of the frame you bought/ordered, pics of all of the above. Lemme see what ya got!
Thanks!

Received my diploma frame annnnndd.... it's shattered!
Luckily the company was nice and is expediting a new frame ASAP.🥲
Delete if not allowed ~ I bought a new diploma frame to display all my degrees and I’m looking to sell my current one. Originally bought for $134 in 2020 - I’m willing to negotiate on the price. It’s WGU themed and the frame is cherry mahogany with a black mat and metallic silver accent lettering. Let me know if interested!
I noticed WGU is selling their diploma cover online. When you get your degree does it not come with the diploma cover??? That would be really messed up if they're just sending you the piece of paper.
Sorry to break it to you, but I think that’s common for any school? I can only speak for the state of CA—I went to a UC for my undergrad and they also sent a piece of paper. My friends who went to a state college nearby also just received a paper. If you wanted a cover, it’s an additional charge through the alumni store. When I finish WGU, I would expect the same.
I think the reason being is because most people who graduate at any school, they like to frame their diploma along with their graduate portrait. I would be doing the same than put the paper in a cover. You gotta show off your hard work in your home somehow!
You get a free diploma cover if you attend commencement. Otherwise you get a piece of paper.
This is fairly typical for most schools. You get a piece paper and you're responsible for getting a cover/getting it framed.
A perfect example of why I shouldn’t be in charge of myself. But I have no regrets. I adore it. 😌 On to the next adventure!

Anyone know the WGU diploma size?
Just a question, that keeps popping in my head. After working super hard for your degrees, and multiple certifications, where do you guys keep them. Anyone have a designated area where they are hanged or kept? Anyone of you framed them at all?
Thank you!
I don't understand WGU... it's 2024, and they chose a vendor that doesn't provide digital diplomas. they used to, as evidence by https://www.wgu.edu/alumni/e-diploma-verification.html but it looks like they changed vendors 2 years ago, and the new one doesn't. For a fully online school, only using a paper diploma which has to be mailed out is definitely behind the times, especially if you want to turn your degree into a plaque, which requires a PDF; and a color pdf from the vendor will always look better than one that is scanned from the paper degree.
My diploma came today, in a cardboard envelope. OK, I think, I'll hop on the website and can buy one. But I can't. I find nothing but links to a diploma frame website, which strangely does not also sell the padded folders.
Has anyone here procured one of these things?
Its literally thin cardstock, came without a any sort of protective case or frame, and (cherry on top) because of the previous complaint, it is wet and wrinkled. Is this the norm? I literally could've manufactured a degree from a fake university and printed it myself and had it look better.
Am I wrong to be upset? Like you know its bad when even the university believes its own degrees aren't worth the paper they are printed on....Nothing says thanks for your money but f you like here is your wet and wrinkled degree.
EDIT: I guess this is what I was expecting. Do only some people get this style of degree?
