Enrollment Verification - Office of the University Registrar

The Office of the University Registrar generates enrollment verification certificates through the National Student Clearinghouse.

Verification For Students

Current Quarter Enrollment Verification

Current (and some former) University of Washington students can download a free, electronic enrollment verification instantly from the National Student Clearinghouse via the Student Self-Service Enrollment Verification system after logging into MyUW with a UWNetID.

Enrollment for the current quarter is not reported out to the National Student Clearinghouse until after the Unrestricted Drop Period ends, after the end of week 2 of the quarter. You will then be able to receive an enrollment certificate through the self-service portal by the end of week 3 of the quarter after the National Student Clearinghouse has updated their records.

In-School Loan Deferment Forms

Each quarter, the University of Washington reports your enrollment to the National Student Clearinghouse and to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). If your student loan lender does not use either of these services to verify student enrollment, they may request that you complete an In-School Deferment Form, which you will obtain directly from your loan lender.

You may then submit this loan deferment paperwork to our office any quarter you are enrolled at UW, to the Registration Team or to our office, 2nd Floor Schmitz Hall. Be sure to sign any portions of the form that require your signature, and include:

Your name
Student ID#
Expected Graduation Date
Loan lenders email or fax (if they require this form be sent directly from the University)

The University of Washington can only verify your enrollment for loan deferment for quarters in which you were previously or are currently enrolled.

Future Quarter Certificate of Registration

You may download an enrollment verification for a quarter that has not yet started, only if you have already registered for courses for that future quarter. An advanced registration certificate is available from the National Student Clearinghouse via the Student Self-Service Enrollment Verification. Log into MyUW with your UWNetID, and select “Advanced Registration”. This certificate will indicate that you are pre-registered for a future quarter at UW.

If you believe that enrollment verification certificate you have downloaded from the National Student Clearinghouse does not contain sufficient information for the entity requesting proof of enrollment, you must contact the Registration Team. Be sure to include:

The National Student Clearinghouse Enrollment Verification Certificate you downloaded through the link at MyUW.
A statement as to why this form is not sufficient for the entity requiring proof of enrollment
Your name
Student ID #
Date of birth
Mailing or email address where you wish the certification letter be sent

Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS) CIP Code Letters

You may request a letter stating your major Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) code and date of acceptance into your major to be provided to the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS) for scholarship increase eligibility, or to another third party requesting this information, by emailing the Registration Team.

Please be sure to include:

Your name
Student ID#
Date of Birth
The major you are accepted into (not declared*)
The date you were accepted
Mailing or email address where you wish the certification letter be sent

Verification for UW Faculty and Staff

Options for enrollment verification include:

Students can provide a copy of their unofficial or official transcript
Student Database
Electronic Advising Record System (EARS)
Contact the Registration Team from your uw.edu email stating that you are a faculty or staff member needing an Enrollment Verification. Be sure to include the student’s full name and student number with your request.

Verification for Non-UW Third Parties

UW students may provide a copy of their National Student Clearinghouse Enrollment Verification certificate or unofficial transcript to any entity requesting proof of enrollment.

Or, a verification may be purchased from the National Student Clearinghouse.

Out of Scope Verifications

The Office of the University Registrar only verifies enrollment and degrees awarded from the University of Washington. OUR does not provide verification for internships, residencies, fellowships or certificate programs or verification for previous employment at the University of Washington or UW Medicine.
