Temporary Proof of Graduation Letter

What a good one includes

• Your full legal name, student identification number, and current contact information matching your job application.
• The exact title of your degree, your major, and any specific academic honors or concentrations earned.
• The official date of your degree conferral or the date you completed all academic requirements.
• A clear statement explaining the delay in receiving the physical diploma and the estimated date it will be issued.
• Contact details for the registrar's office or department head who can independently verify your academic status.
• A formal commitment to provide the official diploma or final transcript as soon as they become available.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using vague graduation timelines instead of specifying the exact date your degree was or will be officially conferred.
• Omitting your student ID number, which makes it much harder for HR departments to verify your status with the university registrar.
• Forgetting to attach unofficial transcripts or grade reports that back up your claim of completion.
• Writing in an overly casual tone rather than maintaining a formal, business-letter structure.
