Here is the diploma sent from Parchment: https://imgur.com/a/M41M3Dj
I contacted Parchment's print coordinator. They will send another one, will take 3-4 weeks.

Thanks for sharing. Guessing the seal and other details connected to UMPI are above the writing, or is that it? If so, that is a pretty boring-looking diploma.

Congrats on the honors!!!

Yikes, that looks like a fake diploma! I'm glad they're sending you a new one.

Im curious if they told you it was a mistake or if thats their standard diploma. I just finished and ngl would be a bummer to receive that. In any case congrats on your degree!

Honestly, it's pretty clearly just a misprint where the wrong stock paper was used. At least one other person has clarified that they received a proper UMPI diploma from Parchment, and the OP has already straightened it out with Parchment. No need to be alarmed by this one off unfortunate error.

No university name or seal. 
Honors - thank you. 

Parchment did not acknowledge the error. They just said they will order a new print. Parchment sent a digital version which has the seal, etc.

Acknowledge an error and have it documented, or send out the correct one without mention of an error...hmmm?

Naaaa...Job security confirmed. 

Look forward to seeing an official one.

It was asked a few times, so wanted to share the UMPI Diploma from Parchment

Compared to the TESU and WGU diplomas in our storage, the UMPI holds up nicely. I look forward to seeing how the seal pops in person.

Thank you for sharing. It looks good, however I see the text looks overlapped a bit. I wonder how the print compy will hold up

This is a classic example of how we sometimes choose to see what we want to see and miss the details. I did not notice how jacky the writing was on 'Bachelor of Art in Business Administration.' After reading your text, that is all I can see!
