To verify a Harvard degree, contact the registrar’s office of the appropriate school and request degree certification or enrollment verification.

Harvard University now offers Certified Electronic Diplomas and Certificates (CeDiploma® and CeCertificate®) starting with November 2020 graduates and going forward. Visit the Harvard University Credentials website for credential validation and for more information.

Your successful course completion can be verified directly from your digital resume or LinkedIn profile by adding your custom Credential Verification link, accessible from the One-Click Verification button on your digital certificate.

Many of Harvard University's degree and non-degree programs now offer electronic credentials. These digital Certified Electronic Diplomas and Certificates are additional to your traditional paper credentials.

Enrollment Verification is for admitted and current students. This letter can be found in My.Harvard once your student account is created. This letter includes students name, full/part time status, degree in progress, program and expected graduation date.

The Graduate School of Education issues all official degree verifications through The National Student Clearinghouse. This convenient online service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Each credential provides a unique 12-digit CeDiD *. The CeDiD allows for instant proof of your accomplishment using CeCredential Validation. Expedite the verification process by providing your CeDiD and validation URL on your resume.

After you have graduated from HGSE, you may be asked to provide verification of your degree for employment opportunities or when you are applying to an academic program. We use the National Student Clearinghouse to distribute all official degree verifications. This service is available to all HGSE alumni 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Harvard Medical School (HMS) only verifies the HMS MD degree and HMS Master’s degrees. All other degrees must be validated by the school which awarded the degree (see bottom of page for additional credentialing sources). HMS does not use the National Student Clearinghouse for verifications; all requests are processed by the Office of the Registrar.
