How does an education background check work?
I am up for a position and they are in the process of running different background checks on me. The one that concerns me is the education background check.
I am exactly one class shy of earning the BS degree that I claimed on my CV. I walked during graduation and everything, but I never got the *incomplete* for that class cleared up and, hence, never completely fulfilled my graduation requirements.
In an education background check, do companies verify that you have the degree or just that you attended the university during the dates you claimed?
In another week or less on January 11, 2010 the release of a great new product for all of us internet marketers looking to break out into financial success and that product is Niche Blueprint. This is the second time for this product but it is coming with many updated items and also some great new tools. If you would like to read the Niche Blueprint 2.0 Review just visit my site at wwwcommissionblueprint2.com
Now if you are just starting out in the internet marketing arena, I suggest taking a few baby steps and that means starting out with the Mining Money Online program that is taylored just for newbies in the affiliate marketing business and it comes at a price that every one can afford of $77
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
An education verification typically will verify the highest level of degree obtained. If you did not actually graduate, then it will be reported as such. Many colleges and universities have chosen to outsource their verifications to a third party, so the background screening company usually does not even talk to the school to find any additional information. I would suggest clearing this up. As a follow up, there are fewer companies that verify Education backgrounds then criminal backgrounds.
Depends on the position and industry…
If having a degree is required for the position, they will verify that the degree was actually achieved. If not, attendance is what they will be looking for.
Be aware though that lying about your level of education, whether the degree is required or not, tells them loads about the type of employee you are. Even if they don’t require you to have the degree and they find out you lied, that alone could eliminate you from the running.

Hey Mike:
An education background will show:
1. Your GPA for the time you were in that school;
2. Your degree status (in this case incomplete);
3. The month and year that the degree was awarded to you (if at all).
If you haven’t told the employer this, you should do it now. An employer usually has language in their application that nullifies an applicant’s status if the information given is not correct or is incomplete. This means that you are at risk for losing this opportunity with this company.
Call the recruiter immediately, and let them know that this is what they may find in the educational review. Also, be prepared to tell them how you have corrected the problem.
If you haven’t, get on the phone right now with your university to clear this up now. Good luck.
