- Fall 1988 to Present

- Prior to Fall 1988
Select this option if you attended CSULB prior to Fall 1988. Your transcript is not available in electronic format. Please allow at least 7-10 business days for processing and paper delivery.

If you need proof of enrollment without the details typically outlined on a transcript, (e.g., for job applications, military service benefits, insurance discounts), CSULB enrollment verification certificates are available through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).
The National Student Clearinghouse is an authorized agent with which CSULB has contracted with for degree verification purposes. 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 directly. This service cannot provide verification of your grade point average. If you require your grade point average or additional details, we recommend requesting Official Transcripts.
