The Degree Verification Service is provided by the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). As stated on the NSC website, "This web-based system simplifies academic verifications for potential employers, background screening firms, colleges, search firms and others who regularly screen applicants. Users can instantly confirm collegiate degrees and/or attendance for former students and graduates of any participating institution." In addition, this confirmation process benefits participating schools by reducing staff interruptions and providing school eligibility for Student Self Service, free verification services for your Human Resources Department, and free reports and verification history.
J1 Desktop provides functionality that allows you to collect and transmit this degree verification data to NSC using a secured FTP site.
· Data is collected using a single ID Number or customized query.
· Collected data can be edited before creating the final transmission file.
· During the update of the NSC Degree Verification History, the submitted degree record can be protected by placing a lock or warning message on the record.
· An edit report and other customizable reports related to the collected data are available.
· The NSC Degree Verification History table stores all submitted records.
