Quadrant 2 - Academic History

Important Note Regarding Verification:

If your CAS uses verification, applicants can't make changes to their colleges, degrees, and coursework from the time they submit until their application becomes verified. Once verified, an applicant can:

Add new coursework for new colleges and new terms/academic sessions
Edit existing colleges and degrees where attendance is “In Progress”
Add new colleges and degrees

If your CAS does not use verification, applicants can’t make any changes to their colleges, degrees, or coursework after submission.
