Overview
If you are transferring or applying to graduate school at another University, you may be asked to have the Dean of Student Life or a comparable official fill out a form. These forms vary from institution to institution, but they usually ask the Dean to confirm your information and answer some questions about your conduct at Portland State.
These forms typically take 7-10 days for our office to process and it often takes longer as application deadlines approach, so plan ahead to ensure that your application arrives (or is postmarked) on time.
Send the completed form to the Office of the Dean of Student Life via email to conduct@pdx.edu, along with a signed FERPA Release Form giving the Office of the Dean of Student Life permission to release information pertaining to your conduct records to the institution you are applying to.
Additionally, you may be asked to include a verification of enrollment by another institution. You can find instructions on how to verify your enrollment on the Registrar's website.
