Patten Diploma Arrived but am not excited

[Saharapost]

So, COSC doesn't include a transcript in one's graduation pack? From what I have gathered here so far, it seems in the US it is not a big deal when transcripts aren't issued upon graduation. It still feels weird to have completed a degree only to be handed a diploma - it gives me the feeling that I have just completed a career diploma program.

I've only graduated from three schools but none of them included a transcript. I half expected WGU to direct me to a secure site so I could just download the diploma lol....they were actually the only one to send the padded case.

I think the biggest disappointment was when I graduated Paramedic school, Instructor just walked in and handed us our certificates. This was pretty much the culmination of 2 years work and he just handed them out as if returning a graded paper or something. I handed mine back and said this was an inappropriate venue, he glared at me. I started humming "pomp and circumstance" until it was taken up by most of the class.
