Digital Diploma

In May 2020, UNMC teamed up with our vendor Parchment to provide a digital version of your diploma which will make it easy to share your accomplishments with family, friends, and most importantly potential employers. 

Please note that digital diplomas are only available for alumni who graduated in May 2020 or later.

Upon completion of degree, graduates will receive an email to electronically claim their diploma. Graduates can get their digital diploma by checking their UNMC email for a message from Parchment and University of Nebraska Medical Center, then follow these 3 simple steps:

  1. Click on the link in their email
  2. Create a password
  3. Share their digital diploma on Facebook, LinkedIn, via a verified link, or download a secure PDF for later.

Graduates can login to their Parchment account at any time to share their diploma again and again. Questions about the Digital Diploma, once you have received it? Email congratulations@parchment.com.
