Verify Your Enrollment or Degree

Print an Enrollment Verification

Has your insurance company or other provider requested verification of your CU Boulder enrollment? If so, follow the instructions below to access your official enrollment verification, provided free of charge through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) self-service site.

The NSC enrollment verification is official and doesn't require a university signature or seal. Print or download it yourself for hassle-free submission to your loan, insurance or other requesting company (including the military) as proof of your enrollment.

What's In It

As shown in this sample verification, your enrollment verification will include:

  • The name of the institution you're attending ("University of Colorado Boulder")
  • Your legal name
  • Your anticipated graduation date 
    • Calculating this date: This date is based on federal guidelines that expect an undergraduate degree to take five years, and a graduate degree to take three.
  • Your enrollment details by semester, including the semester's start and end dates, and your enrollment status (e.g., full time, half time)
  • Accreditation information for CU Boulder

If you have received a degree or enrollment certificate or verification from the Office of the Registrar at CU Boulder and you want to verify the document's validity, please see these instructions:

  • Third parties may request verifications directly from the National Student Clearinghouse. These are official degree and enrollment verifications.
  • If the document was emailed via DocuSign, you may select Other Actions and then "View Certificate (PDF)". The holder or sender must be verifications@colorado.edu. This is an Office of the Registrar account where we send documentation. If the certificate indicates another email address, then the document was not issued directly from the Office of the Registrar and should not be accepted.

Request a Degree Verification

What It Is

A degree verification is not a diploma; it lists your degree on Office of the Registrar letterhead and bears the registrar's seal and signature.

Congratulations on your graduation! If you need proof of your degree before degrees post to transcripts (see the graduation calendar for specific dates), you may either:

  • Use Buff Portal's enrollment verification card (you may be prompted to log in) to request an enrollment verification that includes your expected semester of graduation.
  • Contact your college or school to request a letter of completion.

After degrees post to transcripts, you may order an official transcript that includes your degree and conferral date.

If you need a degree verification rather than an official transcript:

ROTC Commissioning Verification

If you're enrolled in a Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program and it's your final semester at CU Boulder, please work with your ROTC department to have the necessary documents signed and completed for commissioning verification.

CU Boulder ROTC departments and officers are asked to follow ROTC Commissioning Verification Protocols.

Good Standing

Students are considered to be in good standing with the university if they are eligible to enroll or are enrolled in classes in a given term. This applies to participation to club sports and other student organizations, unless club or association rules specify different standards for eligibility.

Housing Verification

If you need to request a verification of student status in order to secure housing in a community that operates under the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program and/or CHFA loan program, please use this link to access our housing verification DocuSign workflow. We will work with the Office of the Bursar and the Office of Financial Aid to complete the document. Once it’s been completed, you will receive the verification via your CU Boulder email address.
