Canisius College Student Enrollment Certifications
Canisius College students can obtain their own enrollment certifications through the National Student Clearinghouse.  These enrollment certifications can be used for health insurers or general proof of your Canisius College enrollment.  Enrollment certifications through the National Student Clearinghouse can be requested beginning 30 days prior to the start of a semester and/or for past semester enrollment history. 

If you need an enrollment certification early than 30 days before the start of the semester you will need to contact the Student Records Office to request an enrollment certification.

Students that do not have a social security number in the college database will not be reported to the Clearinghouse and can not use this service. 

This service is available to our students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
