Undergraduate students often need to verify their enrollment for financial aid, scholarships, or to defer student loans. Lenders, scholarship providers, and insurance companies may require proof that a student is enrolled in order to release funds or provide discounts, like keeping a student on a parent’s health plan.

Employers or internships may also ask for proof of enrollment if they require current student status. For international students, verifying enrollment is essential for maintaining visa compliance to legally stay in the country while studying.

How can I verify my enrollment?

Students can verify enrollment through after the term begins. The National Student Clearinghouse is SMU’s authorized agent for providing enrollment and degree verifications; for Fall and Spring terms, enrollment data is reported on the 12th class day of the undergraduate calendar. (It can take a few days for NSC to process the information and make it available.)
