he/she has completed
Explanation:
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!
