Here's an odd one. A friend of mine misplaced their high school diploma and needs a replacement. But they've got no clue how to go about it. Anyone been in a similar situation or have any insights about this?
Indeed, I can understand your friend's predicament. If they need a replacement for their high school diploma, the most direct route would usually be to contact their high school's administrative office directly. It's typical for schools to have a process in place for this, as it's a fairly common occurrence.
Start with a phone call or an email explaining the situation. Most likely, they'll need to fill out some form of request for a replacement diploma. This form often requires basic information and could come with a fee to cover the costs of creating and posting the new diploma.
Now bear in mind, processing times can vary depending on the school and whether they have the ability to print diplomas in-house or need to order them from a third-party vendor. Make sure to confirm these details when making the request.
Additionally, if your friend needs the diploma immediately due to job application or something else, they should look at the option of requesting a transcript which generally is accepted as proof of graduation. Some schools may also offer expedited services for an additional fee.
