Lawson State has also partnered with Parchment to offer graduates an official digital version of their diploma. After commencement, graduates will receive an email and text notification with instructions for electronically claiming their diplomas.

be a tool to share with potential employers or for admissions to a four-year institution to kick-start the next step in their journey.
