Proof of Enrollment Certificate

Students who need proof of enrollment may print an 'Enrollment Verification Certificate' from SIS.  This enrollment certificate may be used to provide registration information to loan agencies, health insurance companies, employers, etc.  Each certificate is for one semester and provides basic enrollment information.  Certificates for future terms will be available on the first day of the semester. 

You will find this feature under the SIS website --> Student Services --> Student Records --> Enrollment Verification Certificate.

Verification of Degree / Dates of Attendance

The University of Michigan-Flint participates with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide verification of degree and past attendance information.  To verify a student's receipt of degree and/or dates of attendance, please visit the Clearinghouse website at http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/ or contact them by email at degreeverify@studentclearinghouse.org

 

Can verifications be done over the phone without a release of information form?

Our office is limited by FERPA regulations on what we can and cannot release without written permission.  Phone verifications will be referred to the National Student Clearinghouse.

Can I prevent the release of items designated as public information?

Students who desire to prevent the release of public information must complete and submit a Confidentiality Agreement to the Office of the Registrar.
