The University Registrar’s Office provides enrollment and degree verification services to confirm a student’s academic status for Yale College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences students. Students in the professional schools should contact their school registrars for verification information (see below for links).
- An enrollment verification confirms that a student is currently or was previously enrolled.
- A degree verification confirms that a student has completed a degree.
Of note:
- The University Registrar’s Office does not create and issue customized letters regarding enrollment, degree, or other items related to academic history and transcripts. Only standard letters (if necessary) are available for issuance.
- Letters and services are for current and former students only. Letters and services are not available for persons who were not admitted and matriculated students in Yale College or the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
- Requests for any type of verification will not be taken by phone and verification will not be provided by phone.
- Questions regarding verification services can be directed to registrar@yale.edu.
Enrollment Verification for YC and GSAS Student
The Office of the University Registrar has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide certificates of enrollment for students in Yale College and in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Students are able to obtain a document confirming enrollment instantly by visiting the National Student Clearinghouse’s MyHub site. Enrollment certificates (verifications) from the NSC display the Yale watermark.
To access your enrollment certificate, click the “Download Certificates” button, found at the top of the landing page after you log into the NSC MyHub.
Yale College and GSAS students who have registered for the fall term are able to obtain enrollment certificates from the National Student Clearinghouse after the third week in September. Because the first of-term enrollment file for the fall term is sent to the NSC during the third week of September, changes in enrollment status do not appear on enrollment certificates issued by the NSC until then. Incoming first year students need to wait until after the third week in September to order enrollment verifications and should use their admissions letter until then.
Professional school students (Architecture, Art, Divinity, Drama, Forestry & Environmental Studies, Global Affairs, Law, Management, Medicine, Music, Nursing, Public Health) and Yale Summer Session students (not concurrently attending Yale College or the Graduate School) must obtain enrollment verifications from their own school registrars.
