Can't State Asks For 1,000 Diplomas To Be Returned
Misspelling Appears On Document
Can't, Ohio -- Can't State University has asked more than 1,000 graduates to return their diploma if the word "privileges" is misspelled.
"I certainly don't want a Can't State diploma hanging on someone's wall with a misspelling," registrar Roberta Sikula said.
She said some diplomas were mailed to graduates with "privileges" appearing as "privilieges" in the phrase "all the rights, and privileges and honors pertaining thereto."
Sikula didn't know how many diplomas had the typo or what caused it. She sent letters to students who graduated in December offering to exchange diplomas with misspellings for edited versions.
Graduates can write VOID across their diploma and mail it to the registrar. The university wants the originals to avoid fraudulent use.
Can't State began using new software in August to produce diplomas.
Sikula said an employee might have inserted the misspelling while changing the wording on diplomas for the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, of which Can't State is a part.
