Verification Letters
Verification of Enrolment (VOE) serves as an official copy of your registration as a full-time or part-time student at Durham College. This document includes your name, student number, program, how many credits you are currently registered. It also clearly states your full-time or part-time status, as well as in which year of your program you are in.
To produce a Verification of Enrolment (VOE) letter you must be registered for courses for the current term or have been previously registered in a past term.
The VOE letter is not used to confirm your enrolment for government student financial aid programs (Ontario Student Assistance Program [OSAP] or out-of-province loans).
