NSU has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for providing enrollment and degree verifications. Enrollment verification certificates can be presented to lenders, insurance agencies, housing authorities, consumer product companies, banks, and other agencies that require documentation of your current enrollment.
Timing
The Clearinghouse is able to provide current enrollment verification for loan purposes three to four weeks after the start of the semester. If enrollment verification is needed during the first four weeks of the semester/term, you may submit an Enrollment and Degree Verification Form (see Special Requests below).
Obtaining an Enrollment Verification Certificate
Current Students
- Log in to SharkLink.
- Select the University Registrar page from the left-hand menu in the My NSU section.

Former Students
National Student Clearinghouse
- Alumni who no longer have SharkLink access may access the Clearinghouse to confirm degrees and attendance for a nominal fee.
Enrollment for loan deferment purposes is verified to the National Student Clearinghouse on a monthly basis. The Clearinghouse automatically updates your status with most lenders. Students can view what information has been submitted to their lenders. If a particular lender does not use the services offered by the Clearinghouse, students can still download enrollment verification from the Clearinghouse and forward that to the lender.
If your lender sends a deferment form to you and insists the form be completed, please sign and mail it directly to the Clearinghouse.
