Checking the Facts

How accurate is the National Student Clearinghouse?
Extremely accurate. The NSC is the trusted source for education verification in the U.S., maintained directly by the institutions themselves. It covers 99% of all degrees from public and private colleges.
What if the university isn't in the NSC?
If an institution isn't found in the NSC network (typical for some smaller trade schools or high schools), our system automatically routes the request to our manual verification team, who will contact the Registrar's office directly.
Does FERPA prevent you from checking records?
No. While FERPA protects student privacy, schools are permitted to release directory information (which often includes dates of attendance and degrees). Furthermore, our checks utilize permissible purpose under FCRA.
