Enrollment Verification
Students may request their enrollment to be verified for insurance,
financial, or other legal purposes. Verification requests must be
received in writing. Enrollment of current students cannot be
verified until after the add/drop date of the current semester. If
enrollment verification of a pre-registered student is requested,
the verification will state that "enrollment is expected," and is
therefore up to the recipient whether or not it is acceptable.
Requests can be processed from the Verification Request
Form or from a written letter including the following information:
student's name, Social Security number, year(s) and semester(s)
that need to be verified, where the letter should be sent, and
the due date.
Please note: all verification requests are processed on Thursdays.
Please plan accordingly if you have a pressing due date.
