Digital Diplomas & Certificates
Bucknell University offers digital diplomas in the form of a certified electronic credential known as a CeDiploma or CeCertificate, in partnership with CeCredential Trust. Beginning with January 2023 graduates, in addition to a print diploma, graduates will receive a secure PDF copy of their diploma as well as a unique certified electronic document identifier (CeDiD) that can be used to verify their credential online at any time. This serial number can be used to verify graduation even without the original digital credential.
Note: A credential may not be available for all conferral dates. For security reasons, the electronic credential cannot be printed. For additional information about digital credentials, features, trademarks and patents, visit cecredentialtrust.com.

You will receive an email with a link to download your credential when it is available from CeCredential Trust. Please note that this email will come from CeCredential Trust and not Bucknell. To request a new download link, enter your email address here.
