Requests by Insurance Companies
Please note that the Clearinghouse is generally unable to process verification forms from insurance companies at this time. Therefore, please do not send health, automobile, good-driver discount, or other insurance forms to the Clearinghouse. Most insurance forms do not provide the Clearinghouse with sufficient information to positively identify the student, and many request information that EvCC does not currently provide to the Clearinghouse (e.g., grade point average).
The Clearinghouse is currently working with the insurance industry to proactively reduce verification requests submitted to participating schools. Several insurance companies already obtain enrollment verifications directly from the Clearinghouse.
Requests by Employers
Most employers and background screening firms contact colleges in order to verify that an applicant has obtained a degree from your institution. This service is now available through the Clearinghouse, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Clearinghouse is able to provide employers and background screening firms with verification of enrollment for current students, as well as for former students who did not obtain a degree.
What happens when the Clearinghouse is unable to fulfill requests?
Situations exist in which the Clearinghouse will not be able to verify student enrollments. Reasons may include:
- The Clearinghouse is unable to identify the requested record.
- The student has elected to block release of "directory information" under FERPA.
- The company requests information that EvCC institution has not designated as "directory information" under FERPA.
- The company requests verification of information that educational institutions do not provide to the Clearinghouse.
- The subject in question is not a currently enrolled student.
Verifications by Everett Community College
In those cases where the Clearinghouse is unable to provide verification of enrollment or of degrees earned, a request may be made to the Enrollment Services Office, phone 425-388-9219. Students who need a local verification that may support their employer-paid tuition, for example, may use the Verification Request form, available online or in the Enrollment Services Office.
