What is Verification?
Definition
Verification is the process used to ensure all of your coursework was entered correctly and consistently. Since credit values, grade values, and course subjects vary widely from school to school, your programs need some type of standardization so they can accurately compare applicants. This standardization is achieved by using your coursework to create a standard set of GPAs, ensuring you are compared to other applicants fairly and equally.
Several things happen during verification:
- Each course you entered in the Transcript Entry section gets placed under a specific course subject category.
- Each grade you entered in the Transcript Entry section gets converted to an AACPMAS grade value.
- GPAs are calculated using the converted grade values.
- Your degrees are confirmed as awarded, if applicable.
If significant mistakes are found in your application during the verification process, your application will be undelivered, or returned to you for corrections.
