Parent Resources
We recognize that parents provide a great deal of financial and emotional support to their children while they are students at George Mason University.
However, we must balance this recognition with the fact that Mason students are legally adults and their legal rights must be fully respected. We cannot discuss your student's information without the written permission of the student. For more information, please see our page on Student Privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions

Students wishing to share their grades with their parents can submit a request for a transcript, which then will be mailed to an address of their choice.
- I’d like to know my child’s email address and major.
- My employer and insurance companies require proof that my child is attending George Mason University in order to continue benefits and/or to receive a good driver's discount.

A degree and enrollment verification is an official document provided by the University Registrar verifying dates of attendance, award of degree, and student status (full-time or part-time) by term.
The student may request an enrollment verification for you or have it mailed to you.
Insurance companies, parents and students can also obtain enrollment verification directly from the National Student Clearinghouse, the university's authorized agent.
