Enrollment verification

What is enrollment verification?

Enrollment verification is a statement verifying that a student is enrolled in classes during a given term. Enrollment verifications will indicate whether the student is enrolled as a part-time, half-time, or full-time student and for which terms they were enrolled. Enrollment verifications are processed through the National Student Clearinghouse and can be accessed via MyPCC.

Troubleshooting

If enrollment verification is not available for you in MyPCC, check for the following problems:

• It may be too early: Enrollment verifications are only available for a certain period. If you try to get an enrollment verification certificate before this time, it will not be available.
• You’re enrolled in a CEU course: To verify your enrollment in a CEU course, request an official transcript be sent to the person or agency needing proof of enrollment.
• We don’t have your social security number: The National Student Clearinghouse searches by your Social Security Number. If you have not provided PCC with your social security number you will not be able to get a certificate through MyPCC. You will either need to print an unofficial transcript, order an official transcript, or contact Enrollment Services.
