Enrollment Verification

Verification of Enrollment and Degree Status

The University Registrar's Office is responsible for certifying student enrollment and degree status. The University Registrar maintains both past and present student records but cannot verify future enrollment. Students are not considered Washington and Lee students unless they are currently enrolled at W&L.

On-Campus Enrollment Verifications

Students can request enrollment verifications in person by coming to the University Registrar's Office in Early-Fielding during normal business hours or via email at registrar@wlu.edu.   Certification letters are usually prepared within 24-48 hours during non-peak times. 

If the enrollment verification requires the completion of a form where grade-point average information is required, your request must include your signed release. For verifications to the Department of Motor Vehicles, which require a letter and official transcript, please email your request to registrar@wlu.edu. 

*Note: We will officially certify your enrollment only for the term(s) in which you are actually enrolled. Enrollments for a future term are processed after the first day of the new term. We only indicate "anticipated enrollment" for future terms if a verification needs to be sent prior to the start of term.

There is no fee for this service.
