Digital Diplomas and Certificates
Since 2024, Creighton University has provided digital diplomas and certificates (CeDiploma/CeCertificate) to all graduates in addition to their traditional paper diploma. These electronic documents are official, secure and verifiable PDF versions of our graduates’ accomplishments. They:
- Are sharable with employers, family, friends and social media
- Include a unique 12‑digit CeDiD for instant validation
- Are digitally signed and encrypted
- Cannot be printed (security-controlled)
Access and Validation
You will receive an email with a link to download your credential when it is available from our CeCredential Trust®. If needed, you can request a new download link. You can also use CeDID to validate your credentials. (You can even enhance your resume by adding the CeDiD and validation link directly to it.)
If you have questions, contact the Registrar’s Office at 402.280.2702 or diplomas@creighton.edu.
