Registrar Services
Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Office of the Registrar maintains accurate academic records for each student who enrolls at University of Western States and provides timely services to students, faculty, staff, and the public. The registrar oversees course management, registration, transcripts, and degree certification.
Register for Courses
Students can register for classes on the Student Gateway. Note: Doctor of Chiropractic students are registered automatically by the Office of the Registrar.
Order Transcripts
University of Western States works with the National Student Clearinghouse for all transcript orders. You may order transcripts online.
Students with holds on their account that block the release of their official documents must resolve the hold before the registrar’s office can release the documents.
Verify Degree and Enrollment
UWS is a participant in the National Student Clearinghouse, a central repository that maintains enrollment information for more than 2,800 colleges and universities across the United States. Third parties who wish to verify student enrollment must contact the clearinghouse directly via studentclearinghouse.org/verify/.
Current students who may need a physical letter of enrollment verification may contact the Office of the Registrar at [email protected].
Future students (accepted but have not started classes) who may need a physical letter of enrollment verification should contact their admission’s advisor.
Evaluate Transfer Credits
Current College of Graduate Studies and College of Chiropractic students can request an evaluation of transfer credits that may count toward degree programs at UWS during their first three terms of enrollment. Download, complete, and submit the Transfer Credit Form to get started.
Change Name
UWS will change the name of a currently enrolled student or alumnus on their official records upon receipt of a request in writing accompanied by evidence of the legal basis for the change. A record of the previous name will be maintained, but all official documents will be released under the new name. For more information about changing your name with UWS, please contact the Office of the Registrar at [email protected].
Replace Diploma
Graduates may order a replacement or duplicate diploma for a fee. Diploma orders may take up to three months to process. Duplicate diploma requests must be made in writing with your signature attached to release academic information. Your request may be mailed, faxed, or brought to the Office of the Registrar.
All replacement diplomas carry the following statement: “Reissue of original diploma, signed by current officers of the University of Western States. Diploma originally issued under the authority of Western States Chiropractic College.”
