Degree and Enrollment Verification

The Office of the Registrar at the College of Charleston does not complete forms or generate customized letters verifying information otherwise available on an official transcript or an enrollment or degree verification with National Student Clearinghouse.  You may print this policy letter (PDF) as proof of our policy.  If you require additional academic information that is not available on your official transcript or from National Student Clearinghouse, please contact the Office of the Registrar.  Note:  The College of Charleston does not maintain class rank information.

Degree Verifications

The College of Charleston has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to act as our agent for providing Degree Verifications.  Degree Verifications can be ordered by visiting NSC Verification Services.

Alumni should also note that awarded degree information is also reflected on an official transcript.  For information on ordering an official transcript, please visit our Official Transcripts site.
