Verification of Enrollment and Degree

 

Enrollment Verification - Student Request

Students can obtain enrollment verification at no charge,  24 hours a day, 7 days a week through National Student Clearinghouse. Go to MyBlugold CampS, select Student Center and then My Academics.  On the My Academics page select the link for an Enrollment Verification and follow the instructions from there.  This service is provided free of charge to UWEC students through the National Student Clearinghouse. We are unable to verify future dates of enrollment. 

Specialized Enrollment and Degree Verifications

If for some reason the enrollment verification certificate supplied by the National Student Clearinghouse does not meet your specific need you can request a customized Enrollment/Degree Verification report.  To do so please go to the Enrollment and Degree Verification Request Form. Verification requests may also be faxed to (715) 836-3846.

Agencies requesting Verification

If you are an employer, credit card company, scholarship, insurance company, or any other agency needing to verify student enrollment or degree, or dates of attendance please see the National Student Clearinghouse page.

Apostilles

In order for enrollment verifications or academic records to be processed by other countries some require an apostille, a state seal indicating authenticity of the entity providing the information.  The Records and Registration Office processes the initial information in preparation for the student to request and apostille from the Office of the Secretary of State, Wisconsin.  Information about apostille processing for the Office of the Secretary of State can be found at Apostilles. 

Voter Verification

To obtain proof of residency/enrollment in order to meet the new voting requirement for Wisconsin, a student may go to MyBlugold CampS, select Student Center and then from the drop down menu select Voter Verification.  Upon selecting the Voter Verification drop down, a PDF will generate indicating your campus/local address and your enrollment status for the semester.  This document is required for proof of residency when using the Student Voter ID (provided by the Blugold Card Office) in order to vote in an election within Wisconsin.  See the Bring It to the Ballot website for more information regarding this new voting requirement.
