So I need a copy of my high school diploma for some stuff...where can I get it? Is it even possible? If anyone has been through this and can help, it'd be much appreciated! Thanks!
Obtaining a copy of your high school diploma is typically a straightforward process, although the specifics can vary depending on different school policies.
Your first point of contact should be your high school. Reach out to the main office or the registrar's office if one exists. They have control over the records, and they can give the most accurate advice about how to obtain a duplicate copy of your diploma.
In some cases, there may be a fee involved, and you may need to fill out a form, providing necessary details like your full name, date of birth, and the year you graduated. Additionally, you'd want to confirm whether they mail it to you or if you need to pick it up.
If for any reason your high school is not able to provide a duplicate diploma, another option might be to request a copy of your high school transcript. While it's not exactly the same as having the diploma, it's still an official document that can provide proof of graduation.
Lastly, remember that requests of this nature may take some time to process, so be sure to request it early enough to meet any relevant deadlines.
