Degree Verification

LSU Health Shreveport has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as our agent for verification of student degrees.  Outside agencies requiring a verification of degree should be directed to contact the Clearinghouse online at www.degreeverify.org or by phone at 703-742-4200.  Our institutional school code is 008067.   Please make sure you choose Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at Shreveport. If you are trying to verify a residency or fellowship verification, please visit the Graduate Medical Education office for further information.  Please note we do not complete any degree verifications via fax, phone or email by any third party. 

Students Withdrawing from the Institution

All students admitted to an LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport academic program are expected to continue enrollment until completion of the program. Students who cease enrollment in ALL classes for a given term will be considered withdrawn unless the student has received an approved Leave of Absence. For clarification, a student who remains enrolled in one class has not withdrawn and is still considered enrolled. A student may voluntarily resign beginning with the first day of class through the final day for withdrawal.  A Student Withdrawal Request Form must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar for students leaving the institution permanently or temporarily. Some academic programs may require additional clearance actions for students leaving the institution. Students returning to the institution after an approved leave of absence or withdrawal must contact their school regarding instructions and requirements for re-entry.

Letters of Good Standing/Jury Duty Excuses

Requests for letters of good academic standing should be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by accessing the Letter of Good Standing form request with your school credentials.  

If you are requesting an excuse for jury duty, please submit a written request including your jury summons to the Office of the Registrar via your school email to registrar@lsuhs.edu.

If any state licensure forms need to be submitted without any documentation, then please email them directly to our office at registrar@lsuhs.edu.
