Students needing verification of their status, enrollment and/or degree for purposes
such as automobile/health insurance, good student discounts, educational loans,
or for other school applications, should complete an online certification/verification
request form on OPUS. This new option is for currently enrolled students only. Using your OPUS student PIN number, choose "Academics", select "Request Enrollment Verification". If the student wishes to "Hold for Pickup", please enter "Hold for Pickup" in the first line of the address, Atlanta for the city, GA for the state, and 30322 for the zip code. Requests
for certifications or verifications are processed only for the
current semester and/or any past semesters that the student has
attended. Requests for the current semester can only be processed after the
semester's date of cancellation for the student's school. There
is no charge for this service.
For Employers and Screening Firms:
The National Student Clearinghouse is now our authorized agent for providing degree and enrollment verifications. If you are an employer or background screening firm requesting this information please visit www.degreeverify.org. |

Full-Time
/ Part-Time Definitions:
|
Note:
Audit hours are not counted when determining full-time/part-time
status.
In special cases, a student not enrolled for full time hours may
be considered full-time. However, enrollment for less than 12 hours
is not considered full-time enrollment for financial aid purposes
in any situation. A second semester senior in Emory College may not
be enrolled for 12 hours but may still be considered full-time. Graduate
Residence students may be certified as full-time students although
they are enrolled for no hours. Both cases require Dean's permission
and verification. |
