The Office of the University Registrar is responsible for certifying student enrollment and degrees. The University Registrar maintains both past and present student records, but cannot verify future enrollment.
Online
Cornell University utilizes the National Student Clearinghouse to offer current students verification services and the ability to print their own certifications. Any current student or former student who attended Cornell during or after spring 2009 may use this service. Students will need a valid student ID number and an active NetID and password to make a certification request online. Request certification here if you are a current student.
What Services Are Available
- Obtain an enrollment certificate to print and mail to a health insurer or other company that requests your proof of enrollment.
- View specific information about your student loans.

Former students who attended Cornell prior to the Spring 2009 semester in need of enrollment or degree certifications may use the National Student Clearinghouse website. There is a small fee for each request. Any former Cornell student with a valid U.S. Social Security number may make a request online. Request certification here if you are a former student.
