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. Big E Central does not complete or sign individual forms to verify enrollment.

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 at Big E Central 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.

The rules for Academic Bankruptcy are listed in the EKU Catalog or can be found here. Students can also contact Big E Central 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 Big E Central.

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.

Refer to the Registration: How to Register Guide for information on common registration errors and what they mean.
