Streamlined “Pending” process.
Our new online form simplifies data entry
and even includes degree options specific to
your institution. Our system searches for and
displays potential school matches. Requestors
can select one of our matches or submit a
new entry. If the requestor selects the wrong
campus in your school system, you can
reassign the request to the correct campus.
On-demand reporting. Colorful, presentation-
quality reports can be generated at any time.
You can track usage by verification type and
status. Information is broken down by school
and branch, if applicable. You can also view
instant reports on workflow (such as completed
transactions and pending turnaround time by
school or user) and fees (including revenue,
if you participate in DegreeVerify’s surcharge
option). Details are available by clicking
inside the report.
Custom message option. You can enter a
custom message that displays as soon as
the requestor selects your school, before
the request is submitted.
You can quickly add degree
records at any time. Click the
green plus sign to add multiple
majors, minors, or other
academic achievements.
Verification Services automatically searches for
and displays any potential student matches for
your review. If there are no matches, you can
check “New Record” to add the degree record.
If you do not have a degree record for a student,
you can check “None” to close the request and
send an automated response to the requestor.
