The Registrar’s Office at Cornerstone University exists to help guide students as they make decisions about their degree programs and their futures. This office provides access to current and past academic catalogs, assists students and alumni with the transcript request process and helps students track their degree progress in conjunction with their academic adviser, making sure all requirements have been met in order to graduate.
Cornerstone University and Grand Rapids Theological Seminary have authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide enrollment and degree verifications. The National Student Clearinghouse can also be contacted by mail: National Student Clearinghouse, 2300 Dulles Station Blvd, Suite 300, Herdon, VA 20171.
