Certifications, Degree Verifications and Diploma Translations

To obtain a letter certifying attendance or degree, DMV letter, or other academic information, you must submit a signed letter or a Certification Request Form (DMV requests should specify that the on-campus address is needed). Certification letters contain a raised seal and are generally mailed, they may be faxed or scanned only when a raised seal is not required.
