Where can I find an English translation of the diploma?

Financial Responsibility (Diploma) Hold
Because your Student Financial Responsibility Agreement has not been completed, a hold has been placed on your account. This hold does not allow you to request an official academic transcript from the University Registrar’s Office until the agreement is completed. To satisfy this requirement, please read, review, and complete the agreement electronically in Yale Hub under “Student Account.” For additional questions, contact the Office of Student Accounts.
