Current Students
Enrollment verifications are requested online through my.SMU after the term begins. Enrollment data is reported to the National Student Clearinghouse on Census Date, but it takes a few days for the NSC to process the information. For the Fall and Spring terms, Census Date is the 12th class day according to the undergraduate calendar. Below are instructions for requesting an enrollment verification online:
- Log on to
- Click on the Student Dashboard tile. Select Academics from the column on the left. Click on Order Transcript/Enrollment Verification
- Select Current Enrollment or All Enrollment under Obtain an Enrollment Certificate
- Click on Obtain an Enrollment Certificate

If an enrollment verification is needed prior to the beginning of a term (i.e. for a scholarship), the request should be made either in person at the University Registrar Service Counter (1st floor of Laura Lee Blanton Building), or via email (registrar@smu.edu).
