Access to Grades, Transcripts and Degree Verification

How do I check my grades?

Grades are available approximately 3 weeks after the end of each term. You may check your grades online at MyCSULB.

If you suspect an error with your grades, please contact your instructor to discuss the discrepancy and the submittal of a Request for Change of Grade form. A request for a grade change must be filed within one year from the date your grade was assigned.

How do I obtain verification of my enrollment and degree?

You may request official and unofficial verification of enrollment free of charge on MyCSULB. You may also obtain expedited, official enrollment verification for a $10 fee at the Enrollment Services windows in the Brotman Hall courtyard. Go to Enrollment Verification for online instructions.

For official verification of degrees awarded by the California State University, Long Beach, you may use the services of the National Student Clearinghouse, with which CSULB has contracted to serve as our authorized agent. There is a nominal charge for the services provided by the Clearinghouse. If you are an employer or background-screening firm requesting this information, please contact the National Student Clearinghouse:

Continuing students and CSULB alumni will most often use the official transcript as the primary document for degree verification. However, the services of the National Student Clearinghouse are also available to students and alumni who prefer degree verification documents without the detail found on transcripts.
