Records & Transcripts

We establish and maintain student academic records for the university.

Records & Registration preserves the privacy and security of all records while ensuring efficient support services to all students, alumni, faculty, staff and other members of the campus and community.

Degree Verifications

FGCU has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide degree verifications. The National Student Clearinghouse can be contacted via website or mail: National Student Clearinghouse 2300 Dulles Station Boulevard, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171

Enrollment Verification

Enrollment verification (certification) can be obtained through the Records & Registration Department. Verifications may be required for insurance reasons, student loan deferments or may be required by employers.

The Enrollment Certification Request Form can be mailed, faxed or dropped off at the Enrollment Service Center located in McTarnaghan Hall. Requests will normally be done within 24 hours; however, during the peak office times of two weeks prior to the start of terms through two weeks after the end of terms, these will take up to 48 hours to process.

No requests will be processed for the current term until after the end of drop/add week.

There is no fee for these requests.

Grades

Grades are due within two days of the end of each semester. FGCU does not automatically mail out grades, these are available to all students through Gulfline. Please refer to the University Catalog for guidelines regarding incomplete grades and grade appeals.
