Definition

CHSI is maintained by CSSD. The About CSSD page says CSSD was formerly known as the China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center (CHESICC), was founded in 1991, and is an authoritative institution directly under the Ministry of Education. The same page lists its primary business as higher education enrollment, student record and qualification management, and graduates' employment.

The CHSI home page describes CSSD as "the MOE-authorized qualification verification institution in China". The home page lists three services: Online Authentication, Online Verification Report and Verification Report.
