Just below the name on this Temple University diploma sample is a line that’s easy to overlook: “of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education.” The award text then names both the Board of Trustees and the faculty, giving each a distinct role. The board provides the authority to confer the degree, and the faculty makes the recommendation. Near the bottom, “Given at Philadelphia Pennsylvania” places the award in the city.
Sample Details
Institution: Temple University
Document heading: “TEMPLE UNIVERSITY,” with the Commonwealth System of Higher Education line directly below.
Language: English
Layout: Landscape, with centered text on a cream background. Widely spaced serif capitals carry most of the wording, while the bachelor’s degree line switches to blackletter.
Visible features: The closing statement mentions satisfactory completion of the course prescribed by the faculty. A circular gold-toned seal with a temple motif sits between two pairs of signature lines: Board Chair and Secretary on the left, President and Dean on the right. The preview obscures the recipient’s name, the full degree title and the date.
Customization: For a clearly marked keepsake or display copy, contact us about fictional names and commemorative wording.
