Verifications Frequently Asked Questions
You can find step-by-step ordering instructions on our Verifications page.
Current and former students must order an official transcript. Please see our transcript webpage for more details.
Following graduation, degrees take 4-6 weeks to post. If your degree has already been conferred, please choose to send your transcript “Current Transcript - Process As Is”. Questions regarding your degree may be directed to the Graduation Center at GradCenter@usfca.edu.
To have your verification notarized or apostilled, students must make arrangements with a notary (at your own expense) to come to the Office of the University Registrar with your verification during normal business hours. We recommend SF Notary + Apostille (415) 655-9455 or sfnotary.com
University of San Francisco (USF) submits monthly enrollment reports for all students to the National Student Clearinghouse which is then sent on to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). The first Fall semester file is submitted in mid-September, and the first Spring semester file is submitted in mid-February. We can complete a loan deferment form but only for the current term. This must be sent to our email address: verifications@usfca.edu.
- Third parties can verify student enrollment or degrees through the National Student Clearinghouse.
- No need to contact the Office of the University Registrar directly.
- Degree conferral dates are available only after the degree has officially posted to the student record.

- If you have earned less than 24 units at University of San Francisco (USF), we are unable to certify your GPA to the CSAC. Students must have completed and earned at least 24 college-level units from the USF. This does not include courses in progress.
- The Cal Grant regulations states: "For students who are out of high school but have not earned sufficient college level units (24 units), GPA must be calculated from high school course work".
- Please contact and submit your Cal Grant form to your high school counselor.
Graduate students do not qualify for the Cal Grant; therefore, we are unable to submit your GPA to CSAC.
