Enrollment Verification

Print an Enrollment Verification

Has your insurance company or other provider requested verification of your SHU enrollment? If so, follow the instructions below to access your official enrollment verification, provided free of charge through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) self-service site.

The NSC enrollment verification is official and doesn't require a university signature or seal. Print or download it yourself for hassle-free submission to your loan, insurance or other requesting company (including the military) as proof of your enrollment.

What's In It

Your enrollment verification will include:

• The name of the institution you're attending ("Sacred Heart University")
• Your legal name
• Your anticipated graduation date
• Your enrollment details by semester, including the semester's start and end dates and your enrollment status (e.g., full time, half time)
• Enrollment verifications from the NSC display the Sacred Heart University watermark
• Accreditation information for Sacred Heart University

How to Get One

Pending there are no financial holds on the account, all official enrollment verification certificates can be obtained online and accessed by using this link; Myhub each term after enrollment has been reported and for previous terms.

Enrollment for the current term is not reported out to the National Student Clearinghouse until after the add/drop period ends, after the end of week 3 of the semester.

Loan Deferment

In-School Loan Deferment Form

Sacred Heart University utilizes an electronic loan deferment process. Each term, Sacred Heart University reports your enrollment to the National Student Clearinghouse and to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). If your student loan lender does not use either of these services to verify student enrollment, they may request that you complete an In-School Deferment Form, which you will obtain directly from your loan lender.

You may then submit this loan deferment paperwork to our office for any term you are enrolled at SHU, after the add/drop period has ended to the Registrar’s Office via email or to our office. Be sure to sign any portions of the form that require your signature, and include:

• Your name
• Student ID#
• Expected Graduation Date

Sacred Heart University can only verify your enrollment for loan deferment for terms in which you were previously or are currently enrolled.

Third Party Requests

Sacred Heart University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment status. Third parties wishing to verify student degrees or past/current enrollment must do so through the National Student Clearinghouse. The Registrar's Office will not verify this information directly over the phone and verification will not be provided by phone.
