Degree, Credential and Enrollment Verification

How To Request a Verification

Degree and credential verifications are handled by staff from the individual professional programs housed within the school and should be directed to the proper program contact.

Verifications for all of the professional programs are processed, free of charge, within five business days of receipt.

All mailings are sent out via U.S. Postal Service standard mail, fax or email, depending on instructions and identifying information found on forms submitted by the requestor. Forms containing sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, will not be emailed unless the sensitive information is redacted. For faster service, requestors may provide a FedEx, UPS or USPS label.

Any forms requiring a release of information beyond what is considered public directory information must be accompanied by the student’s written consent in order to release information to a third party requestor, per the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

All requests should contain basic contact and identifying information, including:

• Name
• Physical address
• Email address
• Phone number
• Graduation year

Alumni who have changed their name since graduating should also include the name they used when they attended the School of Medicine and Public Health.
