If you are a newly admitted student for the fall term, you should request your letter starting June 1, and after you have accepted your Offer of Admission. Your Verification of Enrolment letter will be shared with you via the MyCreds Learner Portal after June 1 and after you have satisfied the conditions stated on your Offer letter. You can then share your letter with your financial institution. Undergraduate students admitted for fall 2024 must request their letter by Friday, July 19, 2024, and Law school students must request their letter by Friday, July 12, 2024.

The Proof of Enrolment Letter reflects course enrolment status, so you must complete your course enrolments/intentions for the terms selected before requesting your letter.

Third parties may require that you have the Toronto Metropolitan University Registrar or other official verify your enrolment and academic information as outlined on their form by providing a signature and/or seal. In most cases, a Proof of Enrolment letter will satisfy these requirements and can be requested online through your MyServiceHub account.

RESP forms will not be completed, and a Proof of Enrolment Letter should be requested online instead.

If you require a degree copy to be notarized, you may look into the Legal Services (external link, opens in new window)  offered by the Toronto Metropolitan Students Union (TMSU) or search for a notary that is authorized to operate in your area. A notary public is a person who witnesses oaths, signs affidavits and certifies documents to be true copies of the original.

Graduates from June 2020 or later can also use the MyCreds Digital Parchment found on this page to confirm graduation. If you have not yet officially graduated, (i.e. convocation ceremony has not yet passed), request the Eligibility to Graduate Letter. Confirmation of Graduation Status letters cannot be customized. If you have a special request you would like to have added to a letter make a Former Student Letter request instead.
