Online Enrollment Verifications, including pre-registration are available through the National Student Clearinghouse via WyoWeb. UW reports to the National Student Clearinghouse after the drop / add period in a semester so information is not updated in the NSC until UW reports. To request your enrollment verification through the NSC, go to WyoWeb and log in via the Students link under WyoRecords. Click on the Student Records tab, and then click on Request Enrollment Verification. You will be redirected to the National Student Clearinghouse web page. Follow the steps to generate a printable certificate.

To request a verification of enrollment before the NSC is updated, via fax or mail, please fill out the Enrollment Verification Form completely before faxing or mailing it to our office. Verifications are generally mailed within one week of receiving the request at no charge.

 When your child was in elementary and high school, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) gave you and your child rights to access and control your child’s educational records. Now that your child is in college, FERPA transfers ownership of the records directly to your son or daughter.

According to FERPA, college students (regardless of their age) are considered responsible adults and are allowed to determine who will receive information about them. While parents understandably have an interest in a student’s academic progress, they are not automatically granted access to a student’s records without written consent of the student. Information regarding education records is best obtained by direct communication between the parent and the student. If desired, students may create an authorized user account for family members (or anyone else) that they would like to give access to their billing information. This is a convenient way for additional users to go online, through their own secure login to view and/or pay a student's tuition and fees.

For instructions on how to set this up, please visit the Student Financial Services Authorized user Setup page. Once the account is set up, Authorized Users may login here.

Your child may give permission for a third party to access his/her records by filing a One-Time Authorization to Release Educational Record Information (PDF).

If the parent has provided to the Registrar’s Office evidence that they declare the student as a dependent on their most recent Federal Income Tax form (Form 1040), then access to education records may be allowed.

In addition, parent(s) may be notified if a student under 21 years of age is found responsible for a violation involving use or possession of alcohol and drugs. FERPA regulations allow, but do not require, higher education institutions to provide notice to parents when a student violates federal, state, or local laws related to alcohol or drugs.
