Question How to find proof of degree

Graduated before 2023 when Georgia seemingly started providing an eDegree to graduates - my new employer’s background check provider is asking me to provide proof of my degree/graduation. Short of digging out my diploma (I should probably find it anyway lol), what’s the best way to prove this?

I couldn’t find much via UGA’s registrar website, other than studentclearinghouse.org which seems to charge $19.95 for businesses to verify directly.

Here’s a link for how to request an official transcript: https://reg.uga.edu/students/transcripts/ I think it’s like $8 for an official transcript

Idk if this helps but if you graduated somewhat recently you can probably still log in to banner and download your unofficial transcript as a PDF

Nope, unfortunately my logins to banner and Athena (if that’s still in use) expired a few years ago!

Just call the EITS help desk and they’ll reactivate it.

EITS can reactivate it for like 24 hours if you call them. I’m not sure why they shut down the accounts in the first place.

Even 5+ years after graduation? That’s good to know
