Send it back with an angry letter saying you don't want their loving degree and they can shove it up their pompous asses. Maybe you should have went to the graduation ceremony?

He only does that for your mom's slot.







Please buy your mom a bigger mail box so her important mail doesn't keep getting bent. It bothers her.






She told me so after I banged her. Also I'm your dad.

I'm just saying don't take a piece of paper so seriously. His education is still official without it. :eng101:

Why would there be? The diploma has no actual weight for proving you graduated it is just something for yourself to hang on your wall. To actually prove you graduated one would do a verification with the NSC or by ordering an official transcript.

Regardless of it being 'worth anything,' the OP put hard work into his education and cares about the symbol he purchased to represent that effort. Op's university did him a wrong. Good for you Op, congrats on your graduation. I'm sure you'll do great things.

I don't think you understand how modern college works. They give you a placeholder piece of paper in a diploma cover that says "your diploma will be mailed to you in 2-3 weeks" in lieu of your actual certificate.

To chime in, this is something administration does in the event you decide to something like walk up to the stage, drop trou and take a gigantic poo poo in front of the dean and faculty, then slip and fall pratfall-style in your own feces followed by a triumphant rise to your feet smeared in your own poo poo proclaiming "Now I'm ready for the real world!" to thunderous applause.

We are talking about a graduate degree here, right?

It is actually because most universities allow people to walk at commencement who haven't technically been conferred a degree yet. Can't exactly give out a diploma for something you haven't technically earned yet. There is also the logistics of actually preparing all of that poo poo and when you have a thousand or more people walking gently caress that.

That's how it went at my Master's ceremony and I'm pretty sure it was like that at my undergrad one too. Though I don't think undergrad came in a cover, it was just rolled up and tied.
