Self-Service Enrollment Verification Certificates

Virginia Tech has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as our agent to provide enrollment verifications. If you need to verify your Virginia Tech current or previous enrollment or anticipated date of graduation, an "Enrollment Verification Certificate" may be obtained by:

1. Log in to Hokie SPA
2. Choose Transcripts and Enrollment Verifications
3. Select "Request Enrollment Verification Certificate"

As an authorized HOKIE SPA user, you will be automatically directed to the National Student Clearinghouse website. Via a secure log in, you may view or print enrollment information at any time. Enrollment Verification Certificates are printed from the Clearinghouse website and can be used as official verification of enrollment for insurance companies, employers, scholarships, or other agencies. There is no charge for this service. Also, you will enjoy the freedom of requesting and receiving this information at any time, day or night, without visiting our office.

Reporting Timeline: Virginia Tech considers registration for future semesters unofficial until the first day of classes of that term. Therefore, we do not submit initial enrollment data to the Clearinghouse until the first day of classes. During Fall and Spring terms, updates of enrollment data are submitted the tenth (10th), the fortieth (40th), and last class day of that specific term. During summer sessions, initial enrollment data is submitted the second class day with an update of enrollment data submitted the last class day.

The National Student Clearinghouse observes and complies with the Family Educational and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Stafford (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) Loan and Federal Direct Loan Deferments: Virginia Tech participates in the National Student Clearinghouse for this service. Students who qualify for in-school deferments should receive their approval by the lender/loan service more quickly, avoiding confusing and inappropriate lender collection efforts during in-school deferment periods. Should student loan deferment requests be presented at the Office of the University Registrar, the request will be referred to the Clearinghouse for processing. All inquiries concerning deferments should be directed first to the lender or loan service. If the loan servicer indicates that the deferment has not been received from the Clearinghouse, you should then contact the Clearinghouse to determine the status of your deferment. (Contact at: www.studentclearinghouse.org, Phone: (703)742-4200, Email: service@studentclearinghouse.org, Mail: National Student Clearinghouse, 13454 Sunrise Valley Drive, Suite 300, Herndon, Virginia 20171)

Note: Perkins Loan deferment forms are processed by the Office of the University Registrar and should not be referred to the Clearinghouse for processing.
