Degree Verification
A degree verification includes the degree(s) conferred; the month, date, and year of conferral; and field(s) of study. The verification may sometimes also include the dates of attendance, though without detailed information regarding units or enrollment status.
Degree verification is done online through the National Student Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse provides a PDF copy of the verification, which is available for download and/or printing, once the request has been processed. If the Clearinghouse or the Registrar’s Office are unable to verify the degree, the verification will instead show the dates of attendance for the student.
Please note that if a student has applied to graduate, and a degree verification request is placed before the degree has been conferred, the verification will indicate No Degree Awarded—Attendance Only. Please time any degree verification requests so that a pending degree will have been conferred at the time of the request.
The degree verification portal can be accessed on the National Student Clearinghouse website.
