FAQ -

At registration, you must provide an official document attesting to your successful completion of the degree based on which you were admitted to Sciences Po.

This document is sufficient, and you will not need to subsequently submit your original diploma. Please consider that random checks may be done to verify the authenticity of the uploaded documents. Any violation may lead to the disciplinary committee.

If you cannot obtain such an official document, you can request an additional time (step 5: Upload supporting documents). You will have to join an official proof of completion or a copy of the actual diploma by October 31, 2019.

Note that if you fail to obtain the degree based on which you were admitted, your admission will be revoked and you will be deregistered.
