Fun Facts

  • Diploma Meaning: The word “diploma” comes from the Greek word diplōma, meaning “folded paper” — back then, diplomas were scrolls, not thick certificates like today!
  • First Graduations: Ancient universities like the University of Bologna (founded in 1088) and Oxford University (teaching since the 11th century) held “graduation” ceremonies long ago — but no confetti back then!
