The PhD school issues the PhD diploma. As of January 2021, the faculty issues digital PhD diplomas.
Your diploma is issued as a series of PDF documents. At the Faculty of Science a complete diploma consists of:
- PhD certificate
- Transcript of study records
- Final recommendation
The verified diploma is to be downloaded from the Digital Diploma Mailbox.
A valid digital diploma must contain a verification link. If the link is removed from the diploma, the diploma is no longer valid documentation for your degree and results from SDU.
When SDU issues a digital diploma on the university's secure server, a verification link is embedded in the pages of the diploma. If the recipient of the diploma clicks on the link, he or she will be able to see the verified original diploma directly from the university's server.
From the Digital Diploma Mailbox you can send a copy of your diploma directly from the SDU server to one or more e-mail recipients. SDU will appear as the sender of the e-mail.
In the Digital Diploma Mailbox, you have the option to provide time-limited access to a third party. Time-limited access can be granted by:
- Selecting which documents third party should be able to see
- Selecting the period in which documents should be visible
- Enter one or more e-mail addresses where the access link is to be sent
In the Digital Diploma Mailbox, you can see who you have either sent documents to or granted third party access.
