It is common for prospective employers, landlords, loaning agencies, and banks to contact the university for students’ employment verification or professional reference.

Before sharing information about a GE or other student employee, please note that federal FERPA regulations require the student's written consent be obtained beforehand.

More information is available from Human Resources. 

Specific to employment verification, an alternative to gaining the student's written consent is to direct the student to a copy of their notice of appointment (NOA) to present to the inquirer. NOAs can be found in DuckWeb under the student tab.

Inquiries about employment verification may be responded to by the hiring unit or referred to Human Resources.

When gathering this information is time-sensitive and the hiring unit is not available, the Division of Graduate Studies may be able to accommodate students' requests for copies of the appointment contract.
