Graduation certificate of Bai's sister Photo: screenshot

Recently in North China’s Inner Mongolia, a student’s graduation has been jeopardized due to cosmetic surgery. Bai shared her sister’s plight, revealing that during her studies at Fengzhou Vocational College, discrepancies arose between her graduation certificate photo and the one registered on the national education verification platform, Xuexin.

Bai’s sister, who attended the college from September 2021 to July 2024, underwent rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery. 

Upon graduation in July, she discovered that her graduation information was missing from Xuexin. After consulting the school, she learned that the mismatch in photos led to the inability to verify her identity, resulting in the retraction of her diploma, according to Daxiang News.

Despite securing a job, Bai’s sister is unable to access necessary employment benefits due to the absence of her graduation certificate. On October 21, a representative from the college explained to Daxiang News that the verification failure stemmed from the cosmetic changes, which prevented the school from uploading her graduation information correctly. 

Although the school has provided documentation to confirm her identity, the issue remains unresolved.
