Students
The Admissions and Records Office will provide information regarding a student’s records upon written student request. The first two requests for transcripts and/or verifications of enrollment are free of charge, however, a $3.00 processing fee is charged for regular processing of each additional request. We provide a special handling service for an additional $5.00 per copy ($8.00 total per copy). This guarantees your request will be processed by 11:00 a.m. the next business day.
There are three ways to request verification:
1. In-person – you may come in-person to request a verification of enrollment and/or degree. However, we do not offer on demand services. You may opt to pay the special handling fee so that your request will be processed by the next business day, or we can mail it upon request. Photo identification is required at the time the request is made.
2. Via Mail - You can request your verification by mail by writing a letter and mailing it with the appropriate fees to:
