Enrollment information sent by postsecondary institutions to the National Student Clearinghouse is sent to NSLDS via the SSCR (Student Status Confirmation Report) process.

First, the Clearinghouse receives enrollment files from participating colleges and universities. After checking for any errors, we upload each school’s information to the Clearinghouse’s enrollment database. Once the Clearinghouse receives the school’s SSCR Roster from NSLDS – typically within the first week of every month – we begin responding almost immediately, sending the most recent enrollment information for those students listed on the SSCR to NSLDS.

It is important to note that the Clearinghouse can only respond to the SSCR Roster with information that is fully uploaded into our enrollment database. Ideally, you should ensure your enrollment files are processed (and that errors are resolved as soon as possible) by the end of the month in order to have the most recent information sent to NSLDS.

For instance, let’s say your school submits an enrollment file on June 15 and the Clearinghouse processes the file and uploads the information to our enrollment database on June 18. This data could be sent to NSLDS when we receive the July SSCR Roster.

Suppose, on the other hand, your school submits an enrollment file to the Clearinghouse on June 29, and we upload the information to our enrollment database on July 6. This data would have to be sent to NSLDS when the Clearinghouse receives the August SSCR Roster, unless a mid-July SSCR is processed.

If you would like to adjust your enrollment file submission schedule to ensure the Clearinghouse can send your most current information to NSLDS each month, contact our School Operations department.
