Digital Diplomas are Here!
St. Petersburg College has teamed with Parchment to offer an official digital version of your diploma. Beginning with our Fall 2024 class, graduates will receive an email and a text notification for electronically claiming their diploma. Be sure to check your personal email account for this information. If you do not have a personal email address on your record, check your SPC email.
You can easily share your digital diploma on Facebook, X, or LinkedIn with a secure, verified link so you can let friends, family and prospective employers aware of your achievements. We encourage you to post it with the hashtag #SPCGrad.
