Degree & Enrollment Verifications

To conveniently serve students, prospective employers, and other organizations who require degree and enrollment information, USA is a participant in the National Student Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse is a repository for enrollment status information and was established to simplify, standardize and automate the status verification and deferment process. The Clearinghouse, the University's agent, will provide student enrollment information to the guaranty agencies, lenders, and other officers.

Note: The University submits information to the Clearinghouse three times during the term (after the first week of class, at midterm, and at the end of the term) and that it may take up to three weeks after these submissions for information to be available from the Clearinghouse.
