TESU Diploma

[allvia]

One quick search brings up a legitimate TESU diploma example.

I'm not sure if it's because the example is a master's degree or if something changed in the last seven-plus years, but that degree looks bigger and nicer than mine. On my degrees, the TESU font at the top looks a little stretched and weird. While I'm perfectly happy to have graduated, I was a bit surprised by the look, which is just a bit "off."

Agreed, my 2018 TESU bachelor diploma is smaller than the one pictured in that link (it's a standard 8.5x11).  That TESU master pictured in vividpixel's post looks more legal paper size (8.5x14?) to me. We don't see too many TESU master degree graduates here, because it is so cost prohibitive, they may be different sizes (or simply different from when I graduated). Now, my Amberton master degree diploma is big (11x14), I had no choice but to frame and hang it - it didn't fit in any of my desk drawers


Here is a post with a TESU diploma picture from one our own forum members (jsd) back in 2018 - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid251641

I would not worry about the signature on the degree. You've earned a regionally accredited degree from a state university in the US. Congratulations!

As an aside, my signature appears on my two younger sibling's high school diplomas. I had been elected to the Board of Education at a young age and was on the board when they graduated. The very first thing that I had to do after I signed my Oath of Office in pen and ink was to sign a series of documents that would be used to make signature stamps, the signature block for checks, the signature block for diplomas, etc.

It's fairly commonplace to have that type of signature on these documents. Frame it up - post your digital diploma on LinkedIn and get your transcripts that show "Degree Conferred."

Congratulations!

My Portuguese diploma is an A4 paper (just a bit heavier than normal office paper) with normal letter size in vertical orientation.

The most important thing actually is getting the credits, diploma, and transcript for your completed degree.  As long as you have a record/trail of credits that can be verified by a Regionally Accredited institution, that's all that matters - You have completed a 'real' degree.  Most companies or countries won't really care how your diploma looks on paper... it's not like anyone is going to sign a few hundred signatures each semester they hold graduations, times have changed, you've graduated and fulfilled the requirements for graduation, congrats again!

Thanks bjcheung77, the problem is that where I live, they investigate the diplomas and their authenticity. The way in which the TESU diplomas are displayed seems to be pure copy paste, anyone would doubt the legibility of the document in the way they present it. I paid the 10 dollars that they ask for to validate the diploma, they gave me a digital pdf with a registration number. I am going to apostille the diploma because the Spanish University requires it from me to be accepted.

¿Todavía necesitaste apostillar el diploma en físico a pesar de tener el PDF con sistema de validación?

How did you get the Apostille? Did you send the physical diploma with an agency that would get it from the New Jersey Department of the Treasury?

A common way to verify a degree is to verify the transcript. Either you keep an official sealed transcript, which is sent by TESU, or have TESU send whoever a physical copy of the transcript.

People who teach ESL use this method to verify their degrees in foreign countries.

For Peru, SUNEDU says that "if we can verify the degree online, it can be registered" otherwise the apostilled document is necessary, therefore, for TESU I´ll just need to order the e-Diploma (or the correct name for their digital diploma with built-in verification system).

However, for UoPeople, I guess I´ll need to get the apostille as the diploma doesn´t have any code.
