Verification for Employers

Employers/Third-Parties Needing to Verify Student Enrollment or Degree:

Employers (potential or current) and/or Third-Parties can verify a UNL student’s enrollment status and/or degree by using the Verification Services of the National Student Clearing House. There is a small charge for this service. This is only to be used for University of Nebraska-Lincoln students. Processing time for student records, who have possible attendance prior to Fall 1986, is a minimum of 1-2 weeks.

If you are seeking information on a student that includes any non-directory information, we will require a release signed by the student verifying that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is authorized to release information to you. Please provide this when submitting your request to expedite processing.

Employers/Third-Parties Needing to Verify Non-UNL Student Enrollment or Degree:

Employers and/or Third-Parties needing to verify information* for students who attended a closed institution we hold records for cannot use the National Student Clearinghouse. First, please ensure that we hold the records for the school in which you are seeking student information from:

• Dana College
• Grace University
  The University of Nebraska–Lincoln only holds records for Grace University, which was located in Omaha, Nebraska.
• Wright Career College
  The University of Nebraska–Lincoln only holds records for Wright Career College institutions that were located in Nebraska.
• ITT Tech
  The University of Nebraska–Lincoln only holds records for ITT Tech institutions that were located in Nebraska for the academic years of 1994–2000. Academic years 2001 and later must order transcripts through Parchment.
• The Creative Center

• John F. Kennedy College

After ensuring that we hold records for the institution of the student, please request verification from us directly through mail, fax (402-472-0736), email (registrar@unl.edu), or by phone (402-472-3635).

*We appreciate your understanding that we were not given all information from closed institutions.
