Enrollment/Degree Verification

Current and All Prior Enrollment

Students may print a current enrollment letter via Verify Enrollment. When first logging in you will need to use your UIC Net ID and password. This is the same username and password used for University e-mail. Next you will be taken to another form where you will click on Verify Enrollment again. This link takes you directly to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) website.

If you do not have a letter available or term is not indicated once you enter this site, it may be that your information has not yet been sent to the NSC. Information is received by the NSC typically on the 14th of every month during the term. The University of Illinois at Chicago has authorized the NSC to provide enrollment certification.

In order to use this site you must have a social security number and active mailing address recorded in our system.
