he/she has completed

If the verb in the principal clause is in a primary tense--and in diplomas it is invariably a present--then the infinitive in the subordinate clause in oratio obliqua would properly require the present perfect tense in the English translation, according to the natural English sequence of tenses.

Thanks Joseph! Yes, I used both tenses, since I did not know which tense was in the main clause and when "peragisse" was referred to, maybe 50 years before! :-) Have a great day, o wisest of wises!
