The use of generic record providers like the Student Clearinghouse is to reduce the time spent in the field for non-issue information. If the Student Clearinghouse “record” reflects the information reported by the Subject - then we press on. If the record information is discrepant or non-existent, then we should press the schools for the information.
Then there are the schools that just won’t provide the information by any other means than the Student Clearinghouse.
I have not seen a requirement to report GPA since before 2007. We also don’t do the disciplinary records, or campus security, unless there is a reported/developed issue.
