FAQs

The National Student Clearinghouse is the official contracted agent by EKU to produce student enrollment verifications. Students obtain their official verification fast and free through their MyEKU account. The Registrar’s Office does not complete or sign individual forms to verify enrollment. However, if you utilize the National Student Clearinghouse and are faced with any challenges with printing the certification form, please know that you can go to the Registrar’s Office in Whitlock 239 for assistance.

How-To: Generate EKU Enrollment Verification

Students should go to MyEKU. The official grade report will provide the student’s GPA and thus verify good student standing for the auto insurance company. This report contains all the required information.

Students can secure this information by completing a request form in the Registrar’s Office in Whitlock room 239. On that form, students may request that the information be mailed to an address of their choice or they may arrange to pick the letter up the next day after 1 p.m. Please be reminded that proof of identity is required (picture ID) in order to receive pick-up service.

Request Letter of Good Academic Standing

Should a student lose their ID number they should log into MyEKU to retrieve the number. If they are unable to log into MyEKU, they should contact EKU IT at 859-622-3000 or support@eku.edu to have their password reset.

Students should go to the Academic Computing lab, located in Combs 208. Students may also call 859-622-3000.

The rules for Academic Bankruptcy are listed in the EKU Catalog or can be found here. Students can also contact the Registrar’s Office for clarification.

Students may elect to withdraw from a course, several courses or from the university up to the midpoint of the semester by accessing their MyEKU and following the prescribed directions for course withdrawal. To withdraw from the entire semester, students need to withdraw from all coursework to zero hours. Students are strongly encouraged to confirm all changes to their schedule by printing a copy of their add/drop screen showing their reduced hours.

Students should carefully read the registered letter that was mailed to them regarding their status. If, after reading the letter, you still have questions, please contact the Registrar’s office to speak with the Academic Compliance Coordinator.

To re-register into a dropped class, from the Add/Drop page, click on the arrow next to the action window beside the dropped class. The message will say “Dropped by Web”, but after clicking on the arrow you will see other options. If it is still within the Add/Drop time of the semester one option will be “Reregister Dropped Course”. Choose this action and then at the bottom of the page click on “Submit Changes”. Wait for the page to refresh and verify that the message next to the course changed and there are credit hours associated with the course.

Students can check the Colonel Compass for a definition of the error. There you will find a handy table that lists all possible registration errors, defines each, and suggests actions to take in response. Many errors will require an override logged into the registration system by the department office of the course in question. Remember though that an override is only permission to register, you are not registered into a class until you log into MyEKU and do so yourself.

For unofficial transcripts, Students may secure a copy of their unofficial transcript anytime via their MyEKU account. For official transcripts, Eastern Kentucky University uses the National Student Clearinghouse to process all official transcripts requests (Mail, PDF, Exchange). This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allows you to track your order, and ensures the security of your information and payment. The cost is $12.25. Expedited delivery is available through the National Student Clearinghouse. You may track your transcript online at nslc.org using the tracking number you received in your confirmation email. For more information visit the Records and Transcripts page.
