What is a Dean’s Certification?

A Dean’s Certification (or disciplinary clearance) is a verification of your student conduct record. This verification is usually requested by law schools, medical schools, travel abroad programs, state bar associations, government agencies or independent agencies when you are applying for admissions or employment. Typically, the institution or agency you are applying to, or seeking employment from, will provide you with a Dean’s Certification (or disciplinary clearance) document that will need to be completed by an Auburn University conduct officer. Please make sure to complete the form accurately as incomplete or inaccurate information will delay the processing of this document. To process a Dean’s Certification, we must have signed authorization from the student.
