Verification for Former Students and Alumni

You can request an official letter certifying your enrollment dates and degrees awarded through MyRED or our third-party vendor, National Student Clearing House. If you do not have access to MyRED, please click here to jump to more ordering information. Sending an electronic copy of your verification is the fastest, most secure and environmentally friendly method to request your verification. Delivery for eVerifications typically happens on the same day.

Former Students often use Enrollment Verifications for:

• Job opportunities
• Continuing education
• Proof of attendance and/or degrees

The below options provide minimally customizable letters. If you have a form, need additional information added to a verification, or need a different delivery method (fax), contact us at registrar@unl.edu with the details of your request. You may be asked to fill out an Authorization for Release of Information form in compliance with FERPA and Board of Regent Policies.

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.
