Student Requests

The Office of the Registrar provides verification or proof of enrollment for loan deferments, insurance companies, potential employers, scholarships, schools, and other entities that need a student's enrollment verified for a particular period of time. The Office of the Registrar may also provide information such as class ranking, grade point average, course descriptions, tuition and fees, etc.

To verify your enrollment status at ISU, you need to be registered or enrolled in courses prior to the request. Full-time/part-time status is based on the number of credits in which you are registered or enrolled.

If you only need to verify enrollment at Iowa State University or verify a degree, consider requesting a self-service letter from the National Student Clearinghouse.
