Certification for UW Graduates
Graduates of the University of Washington will not be able to receive a Degree Certificate through the National Student Clearinghouse.
Options for Degree Certification include:
- Email the Registrar Student Services office at regoff@uw.edu to receive one. Please be sure to include your name, student ID #, date of birth and a mailing or email address where you wish the Degree Certification be sent.
- An Official Transcript may be also requested for degree verification purposes.
Certification for UW Faculty and Staff
- Students can provide a copy of their unofficial or official transcript
- Student Database
- Electronic Advising Record System (EARS)
- Email regoff@uw.edu from your uw.edu email stating that you are a faculty or staff member needing an Degree Certification. Be sure to include the student’s full name and student number with your request.
Certification for Non-UW Third Parties
UW students may provide a copy of their official transcript to any entity requesting proof of a Degree Certification.
The University does not verify degrees or enrollment for third parties via email, fax, or mail. Third-party entities may purchase one from the National Student Clearinghouse.
Special Investigators and other government employees are encouraged to use DoD Safe when completing background investigations on students. DoD Safe links should be sent to regoff@uw.edu Emailing or faxing release forms containing Social Security Numbers is strongly discouraged as these methods are not encrypted or secured.
If you are unable to use DoD Safe, you may also obtain an unofficial transcript in person during our service hours by presenting your credentials and a signed release of information.
Out of Scope Verifications
The Office of the University Registrar (OUR) only verifies enrollment and degrees awarded from the University of Washington. OUR does not provide verification for internships, residencies, fellowships or certificate programs or verification for previous employment at the University of Washington or UW Medicine.
