Private Information

The following information will only be verified with student authorization:

• social security number
• GPA
• grades
• number of units completed
• courses taken or in progress*
• student's schedule
• residency classification

*This includes the current term and immediate future term. Verification of courses taken during a previous term is limited to the most recent term on the student's academic record. If additional terms are required, the student is advised to order an academic transcript.

Verifications for terms prior to Fall 1990 will require additional time to produce. Verifications for Summer Session terms prior to 1994 will require additional time to produce.

Student Authorization

Student authorization consists of:

• valid photo ID presented by the student when making a verbal verification request or when requesting a "hand carry" verification
• student's signature on a mailed verification request
• a letter signed by the student including the specific name of the person authorized to obtain the verification on their behalf
  • The authorized person must present a valid photo ID. Therefore "my mom" or "my friend" will not be sufficient.
