Verification of Degree

The Office of the University Registrar is responsible for verifying degrees awarded. This service is provided for the benefit of our students and alumni. We reserve the right to refuse verification requests from commercial entities which are intended for profit (i.e., credit card companies).

Verification of degrees awarded is required for many purposes—medical or legal associations, insurance companies, licensure, employers, etc. We verify degrees by mail, fax or on a walk-in basis (with proper ID). There is no charge for degree verification services.

A Verification of Degree does not include courses taken or grades attained while a student at Case as that information is only obtained through ordering a transcript. You may request certification of the following information:

• Degree(s) Awarded
• Major(s)
• Date Conferred
