Beginning with summer 2018 graduates, The New School automatically provides Certified Electronic Credentials (also known as CeDiploma or CeCertificate). If you graduated before summer 2018 and would like to know more about CeCredentials, please contact us.
Diplomas will not be issued to students with holds on their record. Holds must be cleared before a diploma can be released. You can view your holds online. To clear a hold, contact the office that has placed the hold to resolve it.
