Students are frequently required to obtain enrollment certifications from the Office of Academic Records for governmental or private agencies. Certifications are often required for student loan deferment, especially of transfer students who have received loans at previous institutions. Insurance companies, the Veterans Administration or other agencies may require proof of enrollment or grade point information for other types of eligibility. Many require verification of "full-time" or "half-time" status.

For students in undergraduate colleges or special students, full-time status is defined as 12 or more credits per semester, half-time status is 6-11 credits per semester. Audit registration and enrollment in correspondence courses can not b.e counted for certification purposes.

Students can obtain certifications by bringing their loan deferment forms to Buchanan Hall, 1000 Asp Ave room 330, Norman OK 73019-4076. More information about deferments and other exceptions to the definitions of full-time and half-time status is available at 330 Buchanan Hall, (405) 325-4147. Note: Veterans should also view the information on certification for Veteran's Administration Benefits.
