Degree and Certificate Students
 

Proof of enrollment for financial aid lenders

At the start of every semester in which you are registered, The New School automatically notifies the National Student Clearinghouse that you are enrolled at the university. This information is then available to your lenders, and you should not have to provide any other verification to them. If your lender specifically asks you to provide verification before the university has notified the clearinghouse or if you believe they have received inaccurate information from the clearinghouse, contact the Office of the Registrar to inquire about special verification that your lender will accept.

Proof of enrollment for parties other than financial aid lenders

• Print an official Enrollment Verification Certificate
  This printed certificate can be presented to health insurance providers, housing authorities, banks, and other institutions that may require evidence of your current or recent enrollment at The New School. You can request the certificate by going to MyNewSchool and using the Enrollment Verification channel.
• Enable a third-party (such as a prospective employer) to verify your New School degree or certificate

  Third parties who require evidence that you received a degree or academic certificate from The New School can be directed to www.degreeverify.com.
• Obtain verification on a third-party form or by a custom letter
  If a third party gives you a verification form for the Registrar’s Office to complete or wishes the Registrar to write a custom letter verifying your current or past enrollment at the university, please submit a written request to the Registrar's Office (by mail, fax, or in person) or email your request from your @newschool.edu account to reghelp@newschool.edu. Alternatively, a third party can email a scanned, signed letter or request form directly to reghelp@newschool.edu. The verification form or letter can be picked up in person at 72 Fifth Avenue, lower level or mailed to any return address provided. In either case, please allow five business days for the verification to be processed.
• Enrollment verifications for a fall or spring semester will be processed beginning one week before classes begin and then throughout the semester.

Non-credit Students

If you are taking a course(s) on a non-credit basis, you can obtain a Noncredit Record of Attendance. This document verifies your attendance in class. Verification is provided by the course instructor. It is not an academic evaluation and does not provide a course grade. Non-credit record of attendance is not available for courses and workshops meeting fewer than four sessions nor for any event or activity listed online or in the New School Bulletin without a course number. Download the request form (PDF) and follow the instructions below.

Deadline to request a non-credit record of attendance: Submit a separate written request for each course to the Registrar’s Office no later than four (4) weeks before the final session of the course.

There is a nonrefundable fee of $20 per course, which must be paid by your own personal check or MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover card (cash is not accepted). Submit the completed and signed form by fax to 212.229.5648 (credit card payment only) or mail or present it in person at the Registrar’s Office.
