Degree & Enrollment Verification
The Office of the Registrar receives many requests for enrollment status and degree verifications from students as well as outside agencies and employers or potential employers.
Unless a student has requested in writing that all information be withheld, the following information will be released to outside agencies or persons on request:
- Dates of attendance
- Degrees/Awards received
- Enrollment status
Outside agencies and other third parties needing to verify a student's degree should use DegreeVerify through National Student Clearinghouse.
Some students require an official verification of their enrollment status on a semester basis. The most common reasons are for educational loan deferments and for insurance purposes.
Enrollment status is assessed according to the following:
Fall & Spring Semesters
Undergraduate |
Graduate |
|
|---|---|---|
| Full Time | 12 or more credits | 9 or more credits |
| Half Time | 6 - 11 credits | 4 - 8 credits |
| Less than Half Time | 1 - 5 credits | 1 - 3 credits |
Summer Session
Undergraduate |
Graduate |
|
|---|---|---|
| Full Time | 6 or more credits | 5 or more credits |
| Half Time | 3 - 5 credits | 3 - 4 credits |
| Less Than Half Time | 1 - 2 credits | 1 - 2 credits |
To request verification from UW-Parkside, the student must complete an Enrollment/Degree Verification Request form. If there is a company/requestor specific form that needs to be completed, submit it along with the request form.
The request will be processed within 5 working days. The verification can be mailed, faxed or picked up in person (with a picture ID).
