Students must possess a Parchment account to claim their South Carolina Department of Education Seal of Distinction digital credentials. The Seals of Distinction digital credentials will be available for students to claim after graduation. An email announcing their availability will be sent to the address stored in the ‘Post Graduate Email’ field in PowerSchool.
