National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) - Enrollment Reporting Flow

Enrollment reporting process covers all student aid recipients, including recipients of federal and private loans. Upon submission to NSC portal, NSC provides student enrollment status and deferment information to the Department of Education’s National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and guarantors, lenders, and servicers (student loan providers) on your behalf.

This is to ensure that aids provided match with current enrollments.
