Enrollment Verification

Students are frequently required to obtain enrollment verifications from the Office of Admissions and Records for governmental or private agencies. Verifications are often required for student loan deferment, especially of transfer students who have received loans at previous institutions. Insurance companies, the Veterans Administration, or other agencies may require proof of enrollment or grade-point information for other types of eligibility. Many require verification of "full-time" or "half-time" status.

For students in undergraduate colleges or special students, full-time status is defined as 12 or more credits per semester; half-time status is 6-11 credits per semester.

For students in the Graduate College, full-time status is defined as 9 or more credits per semester; half-time status is 5-8 credits per semester.

Audit registration and enrollment in correspondence courses can not be counted for certification purposes. To obtain a verification, bring your loan deferment form to the Office of Admissions and Records.

More information about deferments and other exceptions to the definitions of full-time and half-time status is available at the Office of Admissions and Records.
