About Digital Diplomas
Students graduating in Spring quarter 2026 and later can obtain a secure digital diploma in addition to the traditional paper diploma, at no additional cost. It is a fast, paperless way to prove education credentials, and to share without limitation. A digital diploma is easy for employers and others to read and understand.
A certified electronic diploma (CeDiploma) is a PDF digital diploma, and is an exact duplicate of the graduate’s paper diploma. The CeDiploma is official, secure, and verifiable. The document is digitally signed and encrypted by Paradigm, a national electronic credential supplier, authorized by UCI to issue digital diplomas. Each digital diploma includes a unique 12-digit certified electronic document identifier (known as CeDiD). The CeDiD allows UCI to verify diploma authenticity instantly through its validation service.
