Procedure for Obtaining Verification Statement
Verification statement procedures ensure that all students completing requirements as established by the DPD, not just those applying to accredited supervised practice programs, receive verification statements in a timely manner.
Following every university graduation, December, May, and August-Verification Statements are prepared and mailed to students. All students graduating with a major in Nutritional Science and Dietetics-Nutrition and Dietetics option and those students with a previous bachelor’s degree who are meeting DPND requirements who have met the requirements for attainment of the Verification Statement will be sent a minimum of four copies of the signed Verification Statements to the address indicated by the student at the end of the semester/summer session. The Verification Statements will be signed and mailed once students have been cleared for graduation by the office of Registration and Records. This generally occurs within six weeks of graduation.
Additional signed copies will be maintained indefinitely in a secure location by the Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences. If students require additional copies, they can contact the DPD program director and additional copies will be provided.
