Investigations and education verifications requests must include an authorization of release signed by the student. Once the release is received, DINFOS can verify details regarding student attendance, student names at the time of attendance, degrees earned, programs attended, and dates of attendance. We will complete the requests in the order that they are received. The process may take 2 weeks to complete.

Waiver Procedures

Waivers are for potential students who do not meet the prerequisites to attend DINFOS courses. 

1. Waivers are initiated by the requester and routed through the Services’ Career Field or Quota Managers for approval.  

2. DINFOS Waivers: The Career Field or Quota Manager will email the approved course waiver memo to the Registrar’s Office (RO). Then RO will prepare the waiver package for coordination, and route to the DINFOS department (DH/AD) to review and concur and Directorate (Director/Deputy/NCOIC) for review and approval decision. Once a decision is made, RO will notify the career field or quota manager and the service detachment of the final decision. If the waiver is approved, RO will coordinate with the Service to obtain a quota for the student in ATRRS.  Approved waivers will be valid for one year.

3. Service Waivers (GT Scores, PULHES, Grade/Rank, and Series): The Career Field or Quota Manager will email a service approved waiver memo to the Registrar’s Office. RO will coordinate with the Service to obtain a quota for the student in ATRRS. Service waivers are valid for one year from date of approval.

RO can waive a required course that has had a name change. The career field or quota manager will send an email to RO. The registrar will waive the student in ATRRS only. Waivers are completed within five business days. Waivers that are requested outside the suspense will not be accepted. Suspense information listed below.
