Enrollment and Degree Certification for Third Parties

Effective February 2009, the National Student Clearinghouse is Indiana University Bloomington’s authorized agent for providing enrollment and degree verifications.  Employers and background screening firms requesting this information should contact the National Student Clearinghouse at 703.742.4200, or visit their website at www.enrollmentverify.com (for enrollment certifications) or www.degreeverify.com (for degree certifications).

Loan Deferment Processing

Indiana University Bloomington has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide enrollment verification information for loan deferment to our student lenders. Information about what has been shared with your lender is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year from the National Student Clearinghouse website.

Loan deferments processed via the National Student Clearinghouse beginning mid-February 2009. For details about what information has been provided to your lenders, visit their website at http://studentclearinghouse.org/.

The Office of the Registrar and the National Student Clearinghouse cannot process requests for student loan deferments until the first day of the term.

Enrollment Certification for Students

The Office of the Registrar issues an Enrollment Certification letter, bearing the Registrar signature, to verify academic record information to insurance companies or other student benefit program organizations. Academic record information available for certification may include prior and/or current enrollment, enrollment status, GPA, and final degree conferral.

Note: Enrollment Certifications will not be issued to students who have outstanding financial obligations, including past due accounts with the Bursar (812)855-2636, Student Loan Administration (812)855-4511, Dean of Students/Greek Housing (812)855-8187, or Student Ethics (812)855-4463. If you have a past due balance with any of these offices, there will be a "hold" on your record and we will not be able to issue your Enrollment Certification. Please contact these offices for clearance before issuing an Enrollment Certification request.
