Your BU student records are maintained by the School of Law Registrar\u2019s Office. If you need to request an enrollment verification letter, make changes to your name or address, or restrict access to information that appears in the BU directory, please follow the procedures below.<\/p>\n

Enrollment Verification Letters<\/h2>\n

Enrollment verification letters may be requested from the Law Registrar\u2019s Office in most instances. The Registrar will also complete loan deferral forms and verification forms for insurance purposes. Letters of good standing for summer internships, transferring to or attending other institutions, or specialized work are provided by the Associate Dean for Academic Engagement, Gerry Muir (gmmuir@bu.edu<\/a>). Students may contact the Registrar\u2019s Office with questions regarding enrollment verification.<\/p>\n

Name Change Procedure<\/h2>\n

Students who require a change of name on their Law School and University records must submit a change of name form with the appropriate documentation to the School of Law Registrar\u2019s Office. The change of name form is available in School of Law Registrar\u2019s Office. We will forward the documentation to the University Registrar.<\/p>\n

Address Change Procedures<\/h2>\n
