Dean's Certification Forms

Students often require a "Dean's Certification Form" or other recommendation from the Dean of Students when applying to graduate school, law or medical school, or study abroad programs. Undergraduate students seeking to transfer to another institution often need recommendation forms completed as well. (Some forms will require the signature of an academic dean or the registrar's office. Students should carefully review each form depending upon the institution.)

Students need only to bring or send the appropriate forms to the office for completion. If the form does not include a "waiver" section and signature - where the student agrees and consents to the office's release of their personal information - the student must include a signed letter indicating his or her request and consent.

Forms are generally completed by the assistant dean of students or assistant director in the office. In all cases, forms will be mailed directly to the institution providing the form or returned to the student in a sealed envelope. The office does not charge the student for the cost of the mailing. If the student would like a copy as well, one can be requested.
