Third Party Verification Request

Please Note: ALL third party education verifications must be submitted via fax 310-825-9808 with a signed release form to maintain compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy ACT (FERPA), along with a signature form to verify the request.

Any emailed verification request will not be processed. We do not provide phone or email verifications; all verifications are returned via fax.

Requests are generally processed within 5-7 business days once received by the Office of Student Services via fax request. During certain times of the year (orientation, commencement, interview time, etc.) processing times may increase to 10-15 business days. Repeatedly submitting the same request to different departments and/or not allowing enough processing time will only further delay the process.

We understand credentialing is a time-sensitive process and do our very best to expedite each request.
