Act 688 of 1993 states in Section 2.1(a) 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 either the college prepatory core curriculum or the technical preparation core curriculum with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.75."
The State Board of Education has approved the State Board of Education Seal as the seal to be affixed to the diplomas and transcripts for this year. The State Board of Education Seal is to be used for completion of either path of study, provided the 2.75 GPA has been maintained. School districts may obtain seals from:
