Certification of Enrollment and Degree

The Office of the University Registrar is responsible for certifying student enrollment and degrees. The University Registrar maintains both past and present student records, but cannot verify future enrollment. Cornell University utilizes the National Student Clearinghouse to offer current students verification services and the ability to print their own certifications. All information about current and former students is provided by the Office of the University Registrar. 

Current Students

Current students will need a valid student ID number and an active NetID and password to make a certification request online. Request certification here if you are a current student.
