"Graduating" with a blank diploma

Back in the early '90s at a state university… I walked through my commencement in May but still had a few credits to complete during the summer. I received a diploma holder just like everyone else. Inside, on a paper the same size as a diploma, was a letter saying that I would receive my diploma “after the completion of all degree requirements” or something to that effect. They offered this for those of us who could graduate during the upcoming summer, so we could attend commencement with our class. I was told what to expect when I signed up, and it didn’t detract from the experience at all.
