We will search our database for a match and return either “Confirmed” or “Unable to Respond.” Please note that the data returned for a diploma verification is limited to confirmed status and award year. This differs from the data returned for a postsecondary degree verification, which may include details such as degree title, degree level, and major.

Understanding the Verifications
You can click on the result to see an expanded view of the information you provided as well as the information returned. If we are able to confirm that a diploma was awarded, the year of the award will be returned as well. We will not return details, such as GPA, diploma type, or current enrollment. The DiplomaVerify “Confirmed” response means that the school has reported that a student has earned a diploma (other details are not included on the school’s report).
An “Unable to Respond” response does not mean that the student was not awarded the diploma they claim. It simply means that the Clearinghouse is unable to respond with a confirmation using the information in our database.
There are numerous possible reasons for an “Unable to Respond” response, including:
- Student graduated in a year for which the school did not provide a graduate file to the Clearinghouse
- Student is under the age of 17
- Error in the student information provided by the requestor
- Error in the requestor’s selection of the state or the school
- Error in the information provided by the school to the Clearinghouse
- Inability to generate a unique match (two or more students with identical information)
- Student did not receive a diploma from that school
Unfortunately, the Clearinghouse is unable to confirm requests for which “Unable to Respond” was received. We recommend you contact the school to complete the verification.
