Enrollment Certification: The UNC Office of the University Registrar coordinates the enrollment certification process. If students need to certify enrollment, they should visit the Registrar’s website for further details and instructions. In some cases, a student may need a letter of good standing from the department. In this situation, students should contact Elizabeth Langefeld to request a letter from the MPA Program Office. FERPA Release Form: FERPA restricts the kinds of information that can be provided about a student. Therefore, students who request a letter of reference or a telephone reference from a faculty or staff member must authorize the release of information from their education records. Students can do this by completing this form and providing a signed copy to the faculty or staff member providing the reference. Diplomas: The Office of the University Registrar at UNC-Chapel Hill, coordinates the diploma distribution process. Please see their website to learn more about the diploma distribution guidelines.
