Verifies a person’s educational history by contacting the institutions of attendance or through online verification systems. Information can include: attendance, date of graduation, major studies, GPA and degree earned. Verifying education can help eliminate falsified or overstated credentials. This verification can be delayed if institutions do not promptly return calls or if verifications are only done by mail. The accuracy of the verification can be affected if the applicant went to school under a different name than stated on the application or if the applicant has recently graduated and the institution has not yet updated their records.
