Enrollment & Degree Verifications

Students may need verification of their enrollment status at PennWest Clarion for a variety of reasons such as eligibility for insurance coverage or financial aid. You may also obtain a good student discount certificate to print
and mail to an auto insurer or other company that requests proof of your status as a good student. You must
have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 to meet the qualifications for good student discount.

Verification that a student is scheduled for a particular term can be processed once a schedule has been prepared for that term. Verification of actual enrollment can only be processed once the semester has begun.

Undergraduate students with a schedule of 12 or more credits will be certified as full-time and students with less than 12 credits will certified as part-time (three quarter time, half time or less than half time).

Graduate students with a schedule of 9 or more credits will be certified as full-time and students with less than 9 credits will be certified as part- time.

*Some enrollment verifications may require some or all of the verification to be completed by another office on campus. If your verification needs anything completed by another office, we will forward your form onto the appropriate office for processing.*

Enrollment Verification Self-Service

*NOTE: Enrollment Verifications will no longer be processed through the Office of the Registrar. Verifications can be printed through the MyClarion student center through your web browser and through the National Student Clearinghouse website.*
