If you are transferring or applying to graduate school at another University, you may be asked to have the Dean of Students or a comparable official fill out a form. These forms vary from institution to institution, but they usually ask the Dean to confirm your information and answer some questions about your conduct at Portland State.

These forms typically take 7-10 days for our office to process and it often takes longer as application deadlines approach, so plan ahead to ensure that your application arrives (or is postmarked) on time.

Bring the form to the Office of the Dean of Students (433 SMSU) along with a stamped envelope addressed to the institution you are applying to, a verification of enrollment (instructions are below), and a signed FERPA release giving the Office of the Dean of Students permission to release information pertaining to your conduct records to the institution you are applying to (the FERPA release can be found on our website here).

If you are applying to multiple schools please bring an envelope, verification, and release to go along with each form you would like sent out.

Log into Banweb. Click on the "Student Services" tab. Click on "Enrollment Verification". Click "Continue". This will take you to the National Student Clearinghouse website outside of Banweb. Click the "All Enrollment" button and then "Obtain an Enrollment Certificate". This will open a new window which will load a page with your name in large letters at the top followed by a list of the dates/terms that you were registered at Portland State and whether you were full time, half time, or less than half time. Print this page and bring it to the Office of the Dean of Students along with the form you need filled out, an envelope, and your FERPA release.
