Jury Duty

Students who receive a summons for jury duty should follow the directions on the summons to request a deferral on the basis of their student status.

Students wishing to defer their jury service and requiring enrollment verification from UMMS should submit their request and summons to regassist@umich.edu

This type of deferral is usually granted once by the courts, but students remain in the juror pool and are summoned again until they serve. It is the purview of the courts to grant deferrals.

Licensure / Residency for Graduating Seniors

Steps for Submitting a Certification/Verification Form.

1. Reach out to the residency program to which you matched to obtain these forms. Complete the applicant portion of your residency certification/verification form. Residency programs and state licensure agencies have very specific requirements. Our office neither provides the individual residency forms nor do we send anything automatically to programs or licensure agencies. Students must submit a request to regassist@umich.edu.

2. Complete the UMMS Release Waiver 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.)

3. Send the completed residency certification/verification form and UMMS Release Waiver form, in PDF format, to regassist@umich.edu.  

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.
