About this design

University Graduation Certificate. A personalized university graduation certificate is a keepsake that celebrates finishing university. Pick one of 6 different degree-style templates, type the graduate's name, your school or organization name, your own award wording, a degree line, a date and the signers, add a state seal, and watch the live preview. Then download a print-ready PDF or add a printed copy.

  • Templates: Plain Blackletter, Modern Serif Capitals, Script Wording with Seal Below the Name, Heavy Blackletter with a Left Seal, Thin Border Engraved and Dotted Rules Wedding. Each is a classic document layout with lettered school name, award wording, a degree line, a date line, a spot for a state seal, and two or three signature lines.
  • Your wording: the award wording, the degree line (default: Keepsake Degree), the field of study line and the title under each signature are all editable. Leave a line blank to use the standard text.
  • Personalize: school or organization name, city, name, date line, made-up, in-house novelty signature lines and a state seal in gold, black or color ink.
  • Digital only, $30: a high-resolution, print-ready PDF (11 x 8.5 in, landscape) you download after checkout.
  • Digital + Printed, $50: the same PDF plus a printed copy on premium paper, shipped to you. A hand-applied metallic foil seal is available on printed copies (+$25).

The sample images show invented example text. What you see in the preview is what you get.
