Requests for verification of enrollment for health insurance, good student discounts (car insurance) and housing (apartments) must be made in writing. Students may either complete a Verification of Enrollment Form in the Success Center or write a letter and fax or mail it to the JCCC Records office with the following information:

1. Full name
2. Student identification number
3. Date of birth
4. Semester(s) to be verified
5. For health insurance, parent name and Social Security number for identification
6. Complete mailing address
7. Student’s signature and request date

Faxes will be treated as daily mail and not given priority treatment.

Requests for student loan deferment verifications will no longer be verified by JCCC. The National Student Clearinghouse has been authorized to do these verifications. All forms received will be mailed directly to them for processing. Degree enrollment verifications for employment purposes will also be directed to the National Student Clearinghouse for verification.

Current semester enrollment verifications can be requested after classes have been in session for one week.

Although students are permitted to take up to one year to complete a self-paced class, credit hours are transcribed only on the semester of initial enrollment, not the semester of completion. For the purpose of enrollment verifications, the credit hours are counted only for the semester of initial enrollment in the self-paced course.

Substitute House Bill 1022, passed by the 1993 Kansas Legislature, changed requirements for the concurrent enrollment of high school students in community college courses. Under these requirements, the college is able to provide verification to the high school that the student is attending and making progress in the college course.

If students are home schooled, the same information may be released to the home school administrator. If students have questions regarding this policy, they should contact the dean of Student Services.
