The Arrow: Local News: University officials say they correctly followed admission process in Nafis case (11/05/12)
I haven't used the service before, but tracking a student could possibly be as easy as entering a name, date of birth, and social security number. Other parts of the admissions process take much longer than that.
I just emailed the Student Clearinghouse to see about the process. According to their sample report it only shows attendance time frames and any degrees awarded. My suggestion is graduate everywhere at the same time. Plus it is not too uncommon to be enrolled at multiple schools at the same time. The verification is done during the enrollment process it seems or like in the article when there is a problem student.
According to the Student Clearinghouse, the information only loads if the school or student is not blocking the information. So privacy can be achieved.
I'd be seriously concerned if anyone can run this. This would open up to a hole new way of identity theft. Education identity theft. Could you imagine if I ran my name and dob in the system just to find out that someone who has the same name and dob as I do and has a degree somewhere. Holy smokes!
