FRS Builds Integration with National Student Clearinghouse for Educational Degree Verification
FRS announces partnership with The National Student Clearinghouse to create integrated technology solution to streamline education and degree verifications for The Clearinghouse's online background screening users.
- (1888PressRelease) March 23, 2012 - FRS, powered by Imagination Technologies, today announced it has partnered with The National Student Clearinghouse to create an integrated technology platform that streamlines education and degree verification searches for The Clearinghouse's online users.
This integrated platform will help The Clearinghouse clients - in need of educational verification for background screening - to continue to access the information they need online, but in a more efficient manner at a reduced overall cost.
"Partnering with The National Student Clearinghouse proved to be a very natural fit," said Philip Chapman, president of FRS. "Integrating our two systems enables clients of The Clearinghouse to obtain comprehensive, cost-effective verifications without sacrificing value or service. Providing integrations to the services that our clients need most is top priority to FRS. We are excited to complete this integration with such a reputable organization that truly has its customers' best interests at heart."
This seamless integration is built directly into the FRS suite of background screening products to make it extremely simple for the clients of FRS to order their education verification searches from the colleges and universities whose records are represented by The National Student Clearinghouse. With features to automatically identify and retrieve the appropriate records from The National Student Clearinghouse, this new integration provides a huge savings in terms of labor and time, which in turn drastically reduces the turnaround time for processing these verifications.

The National Student Clearinghouse (a non-profit formed in 1993) is the unique and trusted source for higher education enrollment and degree verifications.

In addition, the Clearinghouse provides accurate FERPA compliant verifications to student loan providers, employers, student credit issuers, the U.S. Department of Education, and others who access its registry more than 100 million times annually.
