Steps for Submitting a Certification/Verification Form 

1. Reach out to the residency program that you matched with to obtain these forms. Residency programs and state licensure agencies have very specific requirements. Our office does not provide the individual residency forms, nor do we send anything automatically to programs or licensure agencies.  

2. Complete the applicant portion of your residency certification/verification form. Then complete the UMMS Record Release Request Form. (Note: Students will need to complete a release waiver form for each institution/location to which your certification/verification form is to be sent.) 

Requests will be processed based on priority, as each institution/licensing board has different processing deadlines and timeframes. Examples are: 

• Requires immediate completion prior to degree conferral. In this case, the form will say, for example: the degree will be awarded/conferred on X date. These requests will be processed as received. 

• Requires degree requirement completion: forms will not be completed until the last day of the term in April. 

• Requires posting/conferral of degree: forms will not be completed until Monday after graduation.

A confirmation email will be sent when the request has been fulfilled.

The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) is prohibited from being released to graduates/students.

If your MSPE is needed for a fellowship application, please send an email to [email protected].

If your MSPE needs to be sent to an institution/organization for licensing, credentialing, etc., please complete and return UMMS Release Waiver form and email it to [email protected].

UMMS Registrar’s Office does not provide nor process transcript requests.

Transcript requests must be submitted to the University of Michigan Registrar’s Office.

NOTE: Official Medical School e-Transcripts may be sent to the Medical Board of California by designating the Board as the recipient on your submitted request and providing the Board’s email address - [email protected].
