Requirements:

• Graduates of both officially approved programmes and University of Girona-specific programmes must have met all the requirements established in the corresponding curriculum before they will be issued university degree certificates.
• Graduates of university bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes may apply to the Secretaria en Xarxa (Virtual Secretary's Office) for their degree certificates. Graduates of other programmes must apply in person for their certificates in the academic secretary’s office of the corresponding faculty or school.
• For degrees issued from 12 September 2003 on (Royal Decree 1044/2003, of 1 August - BOE no. 218, of 11/9/2003), the application for the degree automatically includes an application for the European Degree Supplement (EDS). The EDS is only available for official studies.

Online application procedure:

1. The academic secretary’s office will verify that applicants have completed all their credits before informing them by email that they can apply for their degree certificate and EDS.
2. To apply, applicants must go to the Tràmits (Procedures) section of the Secretaria en Xarxa (Virtual Secretary's Office), identify themselves, click on Sol·licitud de títol acadèmic i suplement europeu al títol (SET) (Application for degree certificate and the European Diploma Supplement (EDS)) and follow the instructions. The entire procedure, including paying the subsidised fee, can be completed online. When completed, applicants will be issued a PDF of the decree certificate payment receipt in three languages (Catalan, Spanish and English).
3. The issued document is legally valid. It contains an electronic signature and a secure verification code (SVC). If it is submitted in either paper or PDF format as part of an administrative procedure, it can be authenticated through the validation means available on the UdG e-Office.

Application procedure in person:

1. In programmes not equipped to process online applications, students must download a degree certificate application in paper format from the Forms page and submit it, together with the original and a photocopy of a current ID card or passport, to the academic secretary’s office of the corresponding faculty or school. The personal information on the degree certificate, including any diacritical marks, will be the same as on this document. If any of this information changes after the certificate has been issued, the certificate must be accompanied by an official document from the Civil Registry reflecting the change. Applicants will be informed about the certificate’s status by email message sent to the address they used to register at the UdG. It is therefore recommended to check – and change if necessary – this address at the Virtual Secretary's Office (La meva UdG -> Expedient -> Dades personals).
2. The academic secretary’s office will verify that students have met all requirements before sending them a letter requesting they pay the subsidised degree certificate application fee established by decree of the Government of Catalonia for official studies, or the fee established by the University’s Board of Trustees for UdG-specific studies.
3. Once degree certificate applicants have paid the corresponding fee or have proven they are exempted from paying part or all of it, the academic secretary will issue a decree certificate payment receipt, which for all intents and purposes accredits the holder as a graduate until the final degree certificate is issued.

Requirements:

• Once printed, the degree certificates and the EDS will be sent to the Academic Administration Section of the Academic and Student Administration Service, which will notify graduates by email and provide instructions to pick up the certificate and the supplement.
• The notification opens a period of five calendar years to collect the degree certificate. The expiry of this deadline may result in the destruction of the certificate, in accordance with current regulations. 

Procedure:

1. To collect certificates and EDSs, you will need to request an appointment in advance.
2. Graduates must pick up the degree certificate in person, presenting official proof of identity and signing the registry to confirm that they have picked up the degree certificate. If the degree certificate has been applied for in person (in the academic secretary's office), they must also submit the decree certificate payment receipt, which will no longer be valid once the degree certificate has been issued.
3. Under Spain’s regulations on official education degrees (Ministry of Education and Culture Order of 8 July 1988 - BOE no. 167, of 13 July 1988), the person concerned may only authorise another person to pick up their official degree certificates through a notarised power of attorney. The person so authorised must submit an official document that identifies them, their notarised power of attorney, a photocopy of the person concerned’s identification document and, where necessary, the degree certificate’s payment receipt.*
4. In the case of EDSs and specific degrees from the University of Girona, the person concerned may authorise another person to collect them through an authorisation form for collecting documents (which can be downloaded from the Forms  page). The authorised person must submit official proof of identity, the duly completed authorisation form (preferably with original signature) and a photocopy of the graduate’s official identification document.
5. The graduate should confirm that all the information on the degree certificate is correct before signing it. The certificate is valid only after it is signed.

(*) Notarised powers of attorney, whether general or specifically for this procedure, are valid for the collection of official university degrees. In any case they must be signed by a notary and state the personal details (name and surnames, nationality, ID number, place and date of birth) of the attorney and the person granting them their power of attorney. As for powers of attorney issued abroad, these may require diplomatic legalisation or even a Hague Apostille (except for those issued from EU countries).

Requirements:

• Degree certificates should be collected in person from the Academic Administration Section of the Academic and Student Administration Service. However, if they are not in a position to do so, graduates may apply online to have their degree certificate forwarded to the local office of the Spanish Government Delegation or Sub-delegation closest to their place of residence if they live in Spain, or to the closest Spanish embassy or general (not honorary) consulate if they live in another country.
