Enrollment Certification and Degree Verification

A request for written verification of your current or former attendance at the university, degrees earned, etc., may be supplied to a third party. The procedure is:

1. If you have been given a form that needs to be completed, submit it to the Office of the Registrar. Complete your part of the form and sign it to indicate your permission to release the information. These forms are usually mailed to the requestor from the University and usually completed in 5 working days. Faxed forms will be accepted provided that they have been properly completed (by you). The office fax number is (202) 806-4466.

2. For a personalized letter certifying attendance, please submit a written request that includes name, student ID number, and enrollment dates to be verified to the Office of the Registrar, Howard University, 2400 Sixth Street NW Suite 104, Washington, DC 20059. 

Additionally, please include any other necessary information such as actual or estimated graduation date, and the name and address of the person or organization to whom the information is to be sent. Specify whether the letter should be mailed to a third party or returned to you. These requests are also accepted via fax provided the letter will be mailed to a third party or will be personally picked up by you. The office fax number is (202) 806-4466. Please include your telephone number.

Forms and letters will not be completed unless you are validated.
