Results Guidelines

Education verifications will include all information made available by the source(s). Sources may include third party verification services such as the National Student Clearinghouse, which may have limited information available. If an educational institution works with a third party verification service, we are required to obtain our verification through that source and not through the school directly. Consultation with a qualified legal counsel is recommended for all employment law matters.

FAQ

Q: What if I haven’t graduated yet? Would you still be able to verify my academic experience?
A: Yes, Info Cubic can verify dates of enrollment.

Q: Can you verify education with my current name if I have changed my name since graduation?
A: Schools maintain records by the name you used when you were enrolled, so you must provide that name to verify your educational experience.

Q: Can you verify education over the summer or when schools are out of session?
A: Even if a school is out of session, we may still able to still reach someone in the registrar’s office or attendance office. If all school offices are closed, our client will have the option to reopen the verification once offices open again.

Q: I have a GED. What should I put for my school information?
A: When verifying a GED, the most important information is the state that issued the GED. "State of XX GED" should be entered in the school name field.

Q: My school has closed, can you still verify my education?
A: In most situations, we are able to verify education even if the school has closed. If the school is accredited (this applies to both colleges and high schools) - records are transferred to a records repository, either at the district level or to the state’s post secondary education department or another school (some high schools).

Q: I was home-schooled. Can this be verified?
A: If a home-school agency was used to provide the materials and testing required to receive the home-school diploma, this can often be verified. Outside of this scenario, verifying home-schooling can be challenging.

Q: What does NSC stand for, and why is there a fee?
A: NSC stands for the National Student Clearinghouse. This is a 3rd party verification service that schools choose to work with to store and verify graduation and enrollment information. Many schools have turned to this system for record holding as opposed to requiring verifications to go through their attendance or registrar’s office. There is a pass-through fee required for this service which will be passed through on the invoice from Info Cubic. If a school contracts with the National Student Clearinghouse, this will be the only available method for verification.
