Enrollment Certifications / Verifications

Current students may request an enrollment verification by visiting their Gibson Portal and using the link on the left hand side.

  • The document may be submitted to a healthcare organization, a potential landlord, a scholarship program, or another organization who may be wishing to confirm that the student is enrolled currently or upcoming.

  • This document is the “official” paperwork for students who are wishing to verify their current enrollment; we do not typically write certified letters for enrollment purposes only for current students.

  • Students may come to the office and ask to obtain this document in person.

    • Navigate to SFARQST.

      Enter the “type” - NGPA or WGPA, depending on whether or not the student wishes the GPA to appear on this document.

    • Enter the recipient name, and if applicable, the address; if the student wishes to have the document without addressing a particular recipient, type “self” in the name line as seen above and Save.

    • Image Added

      Navigate to the Box folder where the ECert will have generated after you clicked save in the previous step: Enrollment Certs

      • The Enrollment Verifications shown here will either have come from a Gibson Portal Request, or from a direct Banner generation by an admin.

      • Your E-Cert will say ‘admin’ having come from Banner, rather than ‘online’ which are the students' online requests.

        Double click on the enrollment verification you wish to print; select print from the ellipses … menu.

Alumni may request an enrollment verification by contacting us at Diplomas@tulane.edu.

  • They may need to provide evidence that they were enrolled at a certain point in time, for personal or professional reasons.

  • We may also want to generate this document to accompany a certified letter, especially a ‘Completed Degree’ letter.

    • The E-Cert lists the degree(s) awarded and the date.

    • Some students may not be able to obtain a transcript stating this information due to a hold.

  • There is no charge for this service for the alumni.

    • You may print the document for an alumni in person, or email the document, possibly in addition to a certified letter. This document is not confidential unless the student’s record is marked as such.

State Boards and Other Organizations

We may receive requests directly from Alumni and Current Students to complete forms for verifying their enrollment or education. These forms may request a transcript be attached; you can also provide the enrollment verification certificate, should the student not wish to send a transcript.

  • We do not charge the students or alumni for verifying their education with State Boards and other organizations at their requests.

    • We can complete forms at no charge at any time; we can send the form with a paper printed transcript from the office for free as well.

    • We cannot send an electronic transcript for free, but we can complete the form for the student and they may attach it to an order at Parchment.com to complete the request electronically.

    • Some common boards we can send these documents for include (but may not be limited to):

      • Social Work Licensure Boards

      • Certified Public Accountancy Boards

      • State Bar Associations:

        • We can send proof of UNDERGRADUATE education to bar associations without involving the Law School; any documentation regarding Law Education, whether it be academic, conduct, or otherwise, must be completed with the assistance of the Law School.

        • We can send transcripts directly to bar associations at the request of the Law School without charge. These should be printed and mailed.

      • ROTC Offices - usually at Tulane, but could possibly be connected to a consortium school.

  • WE DO NOT VERIFY MD EDUCATION OR SEND MD TRANSCRIPTS. Any requests for residency, fellows, MD degrees, etc. should all be forwarded to the Office of Graduate Medical Education. Credentialing & Fees | Medicine

  • We may receive a request to verify education from Loan Servicers, Healthcare Providers, Scholarship Awarding Services, etc.

    • If the student brings you a form to complete, unless extenuating circumstances apply, you should complete the form for the student.

Any form completed in person should be stamped with the Tulane Seal, found near the front desk.
