USC will provide enrollment verification or a transcript to fulfill a verification request. Currently enrolled students can obtain a verification of enrollment through the National Student Clearinghouse at no charge through their Self Service Carolina account.

USC will also provide a student with an official transcript for a fee. An official transcript is a complete record of a student’s enrollment history, including all University of South Carolina campuses and can be used to verify credit hours completed by a student. A transcript can be used to verify a student’s degree awarded, enrollment history, GPA, good standing, or eligibility to return to USC.
