Frequently Asked Questions
What Is EnrollmentVerify?
EnrollmentVerify is a Web-based system that provides instant enrollment
verifications for student service providers.
What Additional Data Is Required?
No additional data or programming is required. All verifications are
performed using the enrollment data that you already provide to us.
What Information Is Provided To Requestors?
Only enrollment information that you designate as directory information is
provided.
Does The Clearinghouse Sell Student Lists For Commercial
Purposes?
Absolutely not! We verify the information entered by the requestor using the
directory information that you provide to us. We do not confirm or release
non-directory information, including date of birth.
How Does EnrollmentVerify Help Me Provide Improved Service To
Students?
It enables student service providers to verify enrollment for your students
24/7, even after hours or when your office is closed. By participating, you
ensure that your students never experience delays in verifying their enrollment
for housing, jobs, credit applications, student discounts,
and more.
What Benefits Can My Office Realize By Participating In
EnrollmentVerify?
EnrollmentVerify is designed to ease your institution's administrative burden
by allowing the Clearinghouse to act as your agent in verifying enrollment when
a student applies for products, services, or employment contingent upon their
student status.
Who Uses EnrollmentVerify?
EnrollmentVerify is regularly used by all types of student service providers,
including the following:
- Employers and employment agencies
- Credit grantors
- Travel companies
- Computer hardware and software resellers
- Other student service providers
Is There A Cost To Participate?
No, EnrollmentVerify is free to collegiate institutions.
How Do We Forward Enrollment Inquiries?
As soon as your EnrollmentVerify registration is complete, you should refer
all requestors to the EnrollmentVerify Web site, www.enrollmentverify.org.
We also suggest you place a link to EnrollmentVerify on your school's Web site.
Does EnrollmentVerify Comply With FERPA?
Yes. Like all Clearinghouse programs, EnrollmentVerify is fully compliant
with FERPA. We respect the policies governing release of student data to
third parties of all participating institutions. To further protect privacy, we
employ the latest encryption technologies and maintain an audit trail of all
verification requests that you can view via our secure Web site.
What Happens When Enrollment Cannot Be Verified?
Most enrollment verification requests are confirmed instantly. When
enrollment is not verified, it is due to one of the following reasons:
- Student has a privacy block on the record.
- Your school has not sent us the record or has placed a hold on it.
- Requestor wants to verify information that you have not designated as
directory information or that schools do not provide to us (e.g.,
GPA).
- Student is not currently enrolled.
- We cannot identify the requested record (often because the requestor has
entered incorrect information).
Whenever enrollment cannot be confirmed, the requestor is instructed to
contact the student to obtain additional or corrected information or to request
that the student provide alternate enrollment verification.
How Do We Sign Up?
If you are not a Clearinghouse participant, you will automatically receive
EnrollmentVerify when you sign up for our free Core service, which provides
enrollment verifications and deferments for your financial aid students. To obtain a
participation
agreement, contact
your Clearinghouse regional director.
After
we receive your signed
agreement, we'll assign a personal consultant to guide you
through implementation of both Core and EnrollmentVerify.
If you are already a Clearinghouse participant, you can add our free
EnrollmentVerify service by signing an addendum
to your Core agreement. Once we receive your signed addendum, we can begin
fulfilling your enrollment status inquiries for your students through
EnrollmentVerify.
