Enrollment verification is used to officially verify a student’s enrollment status, credit hours, anticipated graduation date, and proof of attendance. This is usually needed for Good Student Discounts, insurance companies, banks, prospective employers, and other interested parties.
Procedure
Verification of current term enrollment is official approximately seven (7) business days following the drop/swap/add period for each term. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for details.
Current Students
Current students or alumni enrolled within the past two years may obtain an Enrollment Verification (proof of attendance) and/or the Good Student Discount Certificate through myUCF for no charge.
To obtain Enrollment Verification through myUCF, go to your Student Self Service and under Academics – Undergraduate and Graduate Careers heading, click on “My Academics” and then “Request Enrollment Verification”. By going to National Student Clearinghouse through myUCF, you are automatically connected to their Student Self-Site, which will give you options to print the appropriate form(s) with your enrollment status.
Former Students & Third Party Requests
Students or alumni not enrolled within the past two years (as well as third parties including individuals, businesses, loan companies or lenders) may request enrollment verification directly from National Student Clearinghouse online or call them directly.
