UME ES handles all grading results and transcripts, and generates the Medical Student Performance Record (MSPR) each year for year 4 students applying for residency programs. It also collects police record checks and immunization records, among other aspects of registration requirements. Enrolment Services coordinates all aspects of the Doctor of Medicine convocation in the spring of each year.

UME ES staff are available to provide students with information and advice on all faculty and university policies and regulations.

Among other services offered by UME ES, students can obtain proof of registration or letters of good standing to use in securing a line of credit with a financial institution, for observerships, or when applying for electives at other institutions.

UME Enrolment Services also provides credentialing services to graduates of the MD Program by completing and/or endorsing documentation relating to confirmation of education, confirmation of degree, or Dean’s letters of support.

The Faculty Registrar is a Commissioner of Oaths and provides this service when documents for students or graduates require this level of verification.
