Verification for Former Students and Alumni

You can request an official letter certifying your degree information through MyRED or our third-party vendor, National Student Clearing House.

Electronic Copy to Be Emailed:

• Confirm with the recipients that they will be able to receive an electronic copy of your transcript. To avoid potential problems with spam filters, please instruct recipients to allow emails from National Student Clearing House at donotreply@studentclearinghouse.org.
• An eVerification is considered official in PDF format only. If printed, the word COPY will appear to indicate that the paper copy is not an official institutional document.
• Pop-up blockers must be disabled. View how to disable blockers. 
• Copies cost $3.00 and must be paid at time of order.
