CeDiploma Features

Validation

A CeDiploma can be validated online one of two ways:

1. Diploma Validation Page: To ensure the degree information is still valid, visit the validation page. Enter the 12-digit CeDiD found in the upper corner of the CeDiploma, along with the first two letters of the name as it appears on the diploma.

2. Digital Signature: All CeDiplomas from CU Boulder are digitally signed by CeCredential Trust. When the document is viewed through Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions 9.0 or higher, it will reveal that a digital signature has been applied to the document.

Adobe Reader and Acrobat use a blue ribbon across the top of the document to indicate document has not been tampered with and is therefore authentic.

Mac users: When viewing an official electronic diploma from CU Boulder, the software utilizes Adobe's secure certified PDF technology, and therefore may only be viewed using the free Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat 9.0 or higher. The default Mac preview application will not display the document correctly.

Apostille

An apostille may be neither required nor necessary. The CeDiploma has legal standing, is non-repudiating and can be validated through CU Boulder to provide absolute confidence in the credential's authenticity. Questions should be directed to diplomas@colorado.edu. 

Questions?

If you have any questions or need additional help, please email registrar@colorado.edu. For all inquiries, we ask that you kindly include the CeDiD number and the name of the alum as it appears on the CeDiploma.
