A verification is an inquiry, typically made by a third party, to verify that a student is currently enrolled, has been enrolled, or has earned a degree at New Mexico State University. These types of requests generally come from insurance companies, scholarship and student loan providers, and employers.

Enrollment verifications are free of charge and can be delivered by e-mail, fax or mail. If you request to have them mailed, please provide a pre-addressed, stamped envelope.

An enrollment verification indicates that a student is attending, or has attended classes, during a specified period of time. A degree verification indicates whether a student has earned their degree.
