NSC Degree Verification

The Degree Verify process will create an export file from CAMS that can be sent to the National Student Clearinghouse for verification of degrees earned.

The process consists of creating a header file, selecting appropriate students based on specific criteria, and exporting the file out of CAMS.

To create Degree Verify Export:

  1. From the home page, go to Tools >Export >Registration >Degree Verify >Header tab. The Degree Verification page displays.
  2. Enter your institution specific information. This information will become your header file. Click Save to go to the Criteria tab.
  3. On the Criteria tab, enter the values necessary to return the desired list of students.
  4. Click Initiate which will take you to the Students tab.
  5. If satisfied with the student list, click Get Degree Verify Data. CAMS will now get degree related data for the selected students.

Note: Each degree in the Earned Degrees reference Lookup Table must have an NSC Degree Level associated with it in order to populate the Degree Level Indicator in the export file. If any Earned Degree entry does not have an NSC Degree Level selected in CAMS Manager >Lookup Table Options >Table Maintenance >Reference Tables >Earned Degrees, a pop-up will display indicating which degrees are affected. Associate the appropriate NSC Degree Level with each degree then click Initiate on the Criteria tab to continue.

  1. Click Export. The exported file will be stored in the user's export directory as defined in CAMS Manager User Administration.
