Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-1101 requires that “Beginning with the 1994-1995 school year, a school district shall attach a seal, stamp, or other symbol to transcripts and diplomas awarded to high school students who have completed the core curriculum with a minimum grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 point scale.”

The State Board of Education has approved the State Board of Education Seal as the seal to be affixed to the diplomas and transcripts. School districts may obtain seals from:

The orders are to be filled and delivered within fifteen (15) working days after the receipt of the school district’s purchase order. Two seals per qualifying student should be purchased, one seal for the transcript and one for the diploma.
