Proof of Enrolment letters – How to order and what to expect.
With registration in full swing, it’s important that you are prepared for the new academic term.
Sometimes, you will be asked for documents from UM to confirm information on your studies. You may be asked for confirmation of course registration, your tuition, and fees, or your academic records. In certain situations, you may be asked for proof of enrolment by your bank, a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), or another organization. UM can accommodate these requests through official letters and other documents.
Some documents are free of charge while others have a processing fee. Most documents are ordered online, through your Aurora account.
Read on for more information on each document, what they contain, how to order them, information on processing times and fees, as well as some examples of common uses.

This document is prepared on special UM letterhead. The information included in the letter will reflect the information on your student record, on the day that you make the request. The letter will reflect your current program of study and current registration information for one term of study. Each letter will reflect one term of study (e.x. Fall Term).
The following student information is also included in the letter:
- Your name
- Student number
- Date of birth
- Current program information
- Full or part-time status for each term of the applicable academic year

COMMON USES FOR AN ENROLMENT VERIFICATION LETTER
You may be asked to provide proof of registration to Registered Education Savings Plan providers, immigration officers or others during your time as a UM student. See the examples below:
- Proof of enrolment for immigration applications
- Proof of enrolment for insurance through MPI (international students)
- Proof of enrolment for private healthcare providers (not needed for Manitoba Health)
- Proof of enrolment for scholarships
- Status letter
- Proof of enrolment for Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) companies
- Some RESP/Scholarship Trust Fund companies have their own form they request be filled out by the Registrar’s Office of a student’s home institution. The Registrar’s Office does not fill out these forms. Instead, please submit a request for an Education Verification/Proof of Registration to be sent to the company.
ORDERING YOUR ENROLMENT VERIFICATION
The Registrar’s Office will prepare an Enrolment Verification/Status Letter document for domestic and international students. Students who require multiple terms of information must submit a separate request for each academic term.
