Enrollment and Degree Verifications

Bowling Green State University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as our agent to provide enrollment verifications and degree verifications.

Future Enrollment Verification

Bowling Green State University considers registration for future semesters unofficial until the opening of classes. Therefore, we do not report enrollments to the National Student Clearinghouse until the first day of the semester's classes. Enrollment is typically available after the end of the 2nd week of classes for the current semester. If an enrollment verification is needed prior to it being reported to NSC, students can obtain a letter through their Student Center via the Enrollment Verification or printing a class schedule.
