Spanish term or phrase: constancia de tramitación de título

Estoy revisando la traducción de una "constancia de tramitación de título" que es un documento que emite un colegio venezolano para indicar que el estudiante ha completado sus estudios de bachillerato (porque todavía no le ha sido entregado el título):

"**Constancia de Tramitación de Título**

Quien suscribe, Prof. xxx, titular de la cédula de identidad xxx, Director de [nombre del colegio], hace constar por medio de la presente que el alumno xxx, títular de la cédula de identidad xxx, ha culminado sus estudios de Bachiller Mención Ciencias, en el primer lapso del año escolar 2010-2011 y actualmente se procesa su título de bachiller, que aún no ha sido entregado por falta de impresión de formatos por parte del Ministerio de Educación."

¿Cómo se puede traducir este tipo de documento? Hay una consulta anterior que fue cerrada porque la persona que consultó consideró que ninguna de las respuestas la satisfacía. Una decía letter of completion, pero luego encontré que:

"As the United States is more frequently requiring rigid standards for high school diplomas, which often include passing a high school exit examination, some schools have opted to give students who fail to meet these requirements a certificate of completion instead. The certificate of completion does differ from the high school diploma in several ways. Instead of implying that you have met all standards for graduation, it implies that you completed four years of high school."

Encontré una referencia que habla de "Verification that a high school diploma has been awarded", pero no encuentro más referencias

Mil gracias por su ayuda

certification that a high school baccalaureate certificate has been awarded and is pending printing

Explanation:
In the hispanic system, a colegio is a school, and bachiller is baccalaureate, or upper secondary studies. I am 90% sure it really is not a degree. My suggestion is not elegant, but is clear!

Award confirmation letter is also possible, but does sound like a degree.

Explanation:
I meet this situation constantly in the documents of recent Spanish medical graduates whose specialist degrees haven't yet been signed, sealed and delivered by the Ministry. It may take more than a year!

Right, seeing it is HS, I would change that to "DIPLOMA" because we call it a "High School Diploma".
