Verification Policy
All verification requests are managed either through the National Student Clearinghouse or using the Student Verification Request form as described above.
For students and alumni only requesting enrollment information (such as dates of attendance), you may use the NSC Login link. There you may order an enrollment verification letter, free of charge, that includes either current enrollment or all enrollment. Unless you have any restrictions on your account, a letter in PDF format will be generated immediately for you to save and print.
For students and alumni requiring additional information other than dates of attendance, use the Student Verification Request form as described above.
Verification letters for a third party, if processed by the Office of the Registrar, will require either a direct email address or mailing address. They will be sent directly to the recipient’s address. If submitting an insurance form, load deferment form, guest student application, verification of degree, or other documents, please attach the form to the Student Verification Request before submitting it online.
We are unable to release verification letters to students or alumni with any outstanding obligations to the university. If you have a restriction, or account hold, please resolve it with the appropriate office before making your request.
