A college diploma is a certificate that officially verifies the passing of all requirements of a collegiate student, in terms of his or her tertiary level of education. It is a document that is generally given to those who have completed an undergraduate course that lasts around 4 to 5 years.

A college diploma normally includes the name of its recipient, the name of the college or university that is giving it, as well as achievements such as Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude or Cum Laude if incurred by the diploma's recipient. These achievements are generally received by those who complete their courses with honors.

A college diploma also stands as an academic award. Additionally, college diploma generally varies from country to country. In countries like Canada, diplomas are given by colleges while a university awards a bachelor's degree. In other countries such as Australia, a diploma refers to a lower rank than that of a bachelor degree. In United Kingdom, having a certificate of higher education would mean that the student has successfully completed 120 CATS Point which is also equivalent to one year of university education. A Diploma of Higher Education would mean a 240 credit point.

Besides it being an official document, a diploma is also a symbol of success and discipline. It is the goal of any college student as it signifies the closure of all the hard work and studying that a student has done in college, and now becomes a student's passport into the working force. Parents of college graduates also view their children's college diploma as valuable because it signifies that all their hard work of giving their children good educations have paid off.

A number of employers, especially from top companies, require an applicant to possess a college diploma. Careers in the corporate world require the employee to at least have a college degree.
