Certified copy of your diploma/grades transcript

A certified copy is a photocopy bearing an original stamp and an original signature from your secondary school or university. The stamp indicates that it is a genuine copy of the original diploma/grades transcript. You can get your diploma and/or grades transcript certified at your school or university, or at a notary or municipality. You can also take your original documents to the Student Services Centre (SSC); they can make a certified copy of your diploma and grades transcript.

UM Admissions only accepts the following documents:

Please note that all documents have to be in English, Dutch, German or French. In case your diploma is in a different language, you need to provide us with an official translation (Dutch or English) of the diploma as well. The translated document does not have to be certified; only the diploma in the original language has to be certified.
