About us
The mission of the National Student Clearinghouse is to serve the education and workforce communities and all learners with access to trusted data, related services, and insights. We help educational institutions improve efficiency, reduce costs and workload, and enhance the quality of services they provide to their students and alumni, lending institutions, employers, and other organizations. Our verification, electronic exchange, and reporting services save higher education institutions cumulatively over $750 million annually. Most Clearinghouse services are provided to colleges and universities at little or no charge, including enhanced transcript and research services, enabling institutions to redistribute limited staff and budget resources to more important student service efforts. The Clearinghouse also provides thousands of high schools and districts with continuing collegiate enrollment, progression, and completion statistics on their alumni. Through our Research Center, the Clearinghouse provides accurate information and research studies to education leaders on how student pathways are evolving so they can better understand and address their students’ needs and help them achieve successful outcomes. Clearinghouse services are designed to facilitate an institution’s compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, The Higher Education Act, and other applicable laws. The Clearinghouse has signed the Student Privacy Pledge and is the first recipient of ikeepsafe.org’s FERPA compliance badge, which was awarded to its StudentTracker for High Schools service.

🚨 NEW TOOL RELEASE: As more postsecondary institutions offer credentials aimed at helping students succeed in the workforce, they are increasingly enrolling larger populations of students who have not historically been served by higher education. To improve retention and graduation rates, ensure workforce readiness, and promote equity, postsecondary leaders need more insight into the outcomes of these students so they can make informed decisions, implement targeted interventions, and develop strategies to support underserved populations. To enable postsecondary institutions to better understand patterns in student outcomes, Harvard Strategic Data Project, in collaboration with ResearchEd, has launched a free tool for institutions participating in the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP), a national effort to help postsecondary institutions understand student academic progress and success through data collection facilitated by the National Student Clearinghouse®. Participants receive analysis-ready files and dashboards detailing key performance indicators, including credit accumulation, gateway course completion, retention, persistence, and credentials. The PDP also provides data on part-time and transfer-in students, detailed demographics, and course information to identify support needs and track academic progress. To access the toolkit, visit OpenSDP at https://ow.ly/4EM850SXIN7 Join a free training on the tool: https://ow.ly/4nFc50SXIN8
