Agree with Sandra I had a problem with a diploma in Latin and emailed the university registrar. They were more than willing to help and gave me the info I wanted. I'd do the same if I were you. Good luck.

@Rafaela This is a bit of a mystery.
I found online a request for help with a diploma from the University of Guadalajara (unfortunately, no joy with answers) with a similar text although the part that interests us read "nominator creditor generationis". Your profile says you read Spanish. I don't but the registrar's website from this university may offer help regarding the wording of their diplomas.
I hope this helps.

The name of the individual after "generationis" is the name of the person signing at the bottom as "Patronus". His signature is in the middle, in bigger font, between "Rector" and "moderator".
The student's name is below preceded by "Domin" & followd by:
Quapropter in suo obsequio hoc documentum scribiture ad constantiam.

about "generationis" What does the name between "generationis" and "In professione" look like? Is it the same as the name of the student or could it be the name of the promotion in which the student graduated, like: "Margaret Thatcher graduated in the Mary Tudor class" (I am making this up, obviously, I am no biographer of Miss Maggie) where "class" would be expressed by "generationis" in Latin (in the genitive of origin)?

my try (name) is nominated for and accredited with the degree of..... As far as I see it a translation of"generationis" is unnecessary here as it just means "of the action". others may know better.........

it's the wording in a diploma:

Ad futuram rei memoriam
In hoc potissimo die, cum peculiare solemnitate in conspectum
Auctoritatis Universitatis praeceptorum et discipulorum,
nominatur creditur generationis
{Name}
In professione {degree received}
Domin {name of student}
Quapropter in suo obsequio hoc documentum scribitur
ad constantiam.
{there are 3 signatures at the bottom under:} Rector Patronus Moderator
That's the context in its entirety.
