An Education Verification or Graduation Verification is a statement which verifies that an individual has graduated from a certain school with a standard high school diploma on a specific date.
For Education Verifications, please ignore the ‘To Be Mailed’ for Delivery Type. When we first started using ScribOrder, we asked ScribOrder to delete the ‘To Be Mailed’ for the Delivery Type; however, ScribOrder was unable to update the software. Instead, they inserted in parenthesis (delivered via email) by the words, “Education Verification” for ‘Type of Document Requested’
Processing an education verification does NOT require a transcript be uploaded and sent electronically or mailed via U.S. mail. An education verification is simply a statement that states that the applicant attended a certain school and did or did not graduate. If the applicant graduated, the date of graduation should be included. If the applicant did not graduate, the dates of attendance should be included.
If the Education Verification company requests a hard copy of the transcript or other records, a signed release is needed.
