If students need to obtain verification of good student standing in order to get a
discount for insurance or other purposes they should pull a Good Student Discount
Certificate via myWCU.
- Students should login to myWCU: my.wcupa.edu
- Under "Useful Links" Select Enrollment Verification
- Students will be directed to the National Student Clearinghouse page in myWCU.
- Click on "Obtain a Good Student Discount Certificate"
- If a student has a cumulative GPA of "B" or "3.0" or above their Good Student Discount
Certificate will be available.
- The Certificate clearly states "West Chester University uses the following criteria
to determining Good Student Discount eligibility: A cumulative grade point average
of "B" or "3.0" or above." This will allow insurance companies and other providers
to understand the Good Student Standing qualifications.
- If a student does not meet the Good Student Discount eligibility criteria and clicks
on "Obtain a Good Student Discount Certificate" the following error message will appear:
"We are unable to verify your eligibility for the Good Student Discount designation
based on the information from your institution. If you believe this information is
incorrect you should contact your Registrar's office."
An Enrollment Verification will include the student's Current Program of Study including
the Career, Academic Program, Academic Plan s/he is admitted under, and what Degree
s/he is currently pursuing. It will also include the student's current expected completion
date.
Once a degree is showing as awarded on a student's West Chester University data record
(under "Unofficial Transcript"), approximately 8 weeks thereafter an Enrollment Verification
can be printed to provide as an official verification of the degree programs you have
completed and what degrees awarded on your record. The verification will at this time
show the completion date and degree program information at the time of the awarding/conferral.
Please note: some institutions may require an official transcript instead (see "Transcript Requests").
Most institutions and companies can wait until the enrollment information is available
online. However, sometimes there may be an extenuating situation where a verification
may be requested before the term has begun, for example due to a change of insurance
companies, a scholarship summer (bill date) deadline, or the student is returning
to school after being out for a length of time. For a situation like this, choose
the option "Advanced Registration" if the term has not begun yet. Once the term begins,
this option is no longer available - "Current Enrollment" or "All Enrollment" should
be chosen instead.
