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:
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:

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).
