Admissions

Keep Your Information Updated

It is the student’s responsibility to make sure their name, address, phone number, and email remain current with Hinds. This ensures students don’t miss important updates about their admission, classes, bill, or financial aid. In addition, having the correct and current legal name on file helps us match your FAFSA to your student record quickly and accurately.

How to Update Contact Information:

1. Log into My.Hinds.
2. From the My.Hinds dashboard, open your Navigator account.
3. In Navigator, go to the Profile icon, and click on View Profile.
4. In your Profile, click Contact.
5. Next, click Edit.
6. Now you can click the Pencil icon to edit existing physical addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. Or, click Add to add new contact information.
7. You will not see your edits right away since they go to the Admissions Office for approval.

Important notes on your address and residency status:

• You must always have a physical address in Mississippi as your primary address if you wish to maintain an existing Mississippi residency status. You may add a different mailing address as your secondary address.
• If you change your primary address to a P.O. Box or a non-Mississippi address, you will be subject to a Non-Resident status.
• It’s important to note that Hinds rarely sends paper mail, as email is the preferred communication.

How to Update Legal Name:

1. Log into My.Hinds.
2. From the My.Hinds dashboard, open your Navigator account.
3. In Navigator, got to the Profile icon, and click on View Profile.
4. In your Profile, click Personal.

6. Now you can edit your legal name and upload supporting documentation, such as a current Social Security card, marriage license, divorce decree, or court order validating the name change.
7. Click Submit.

Please note: you will not see your legal name change right away since the request will be routed to the Admissions Office for your supporting documentation to be reviewed.

Enrollment Verification

The National Student Clearinghouse verifies enrollment through a secure online application. Registration is required. Enrollment certifications are based on the date of the request. Please note that enrollment data at the beginning of a term is available after the second week of classes. Students who need to show enrollment for a term before the second week of classes or before the start of the term should request an official transcript through Parchment.

Third parties who need to verify student enrollment should visit National Student Clearinghouse. Students who need to verify their own enrollment should visit Myhub.org. Students have free access to verified education records and printable enrollment certificates.

For assistance, contact the National Student Clearinghouse Customer Support team at service@studentclearinghouse.org or 703-742-4200.
