Who We Work With

Colleges & Universities

The Clearinghouse has been a trusted partner to the higher education community since 1993 and now provides verification and reporting services to most of the postsecondary institutions in the U.S. The Clearinghouse also provides online enrollment reporting for U.S. students to hundreds of international postsecondary institutions.

Commercial Organizations

Nearly 3,000 of the nation's largest employers, recruiters and background search firms have contracted with the Clearinghouse to perform secure, online academic verifications. In addition, thousands of other companies and individuals verify degrees each year via our public DegreeVerify Web site, making it the largest online degree verification service in the U.S.

In addition, many of the country's leading student service providers (e.g., insurance companies, credit grantors, travel companies, etc.) regularly use our online enrollment verification service, EnrollmentVerify, to instantly obtain proof of a student's enrollment status.
