Enrollment Verifications

The Office of the University Registrar routinely certifies students' enrollment to a variety of outside agencies. Students often need official verification of their enrollment status sent to various agencies and organizations, to include:

  • Insurance companies for students applying for family, life, and auto policy discounts
  • Automobile dealers for graduates seeking auto loan discounts
  • Employers for students seeking jobs
  • Credit card companies for students applying for credit
  • Pension fund companies for students applying for survivor educational benefits
  • U.S. Veterans Affairs (VA) for student veterans applying for educational benefits
  • Financial aid lenders and loan guarantors, via the National Student Loan Clearinghouse

National Student Clearinghouse

The College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide degree and enrollment verification. Requests from Employers/Third Parties for verification of current enrollment may be directed to the National Student Clearinghouse at:

Note: To cover the cost of this service, some requestors pay a small service fee to obtain verifications of student enrollment.
