Employer college verification?

Question

Is it normal for a college to refuse to give information out to a prospective employer regarding degree obtained, dates of attend, etc... My college is refusing to do this despite the fact that I signed a release through the company. They are saying me record is closed. I offered them a copy of my diploma and transcripts, so we should be fine...just curious about the situation.

So, I just called the school and I gues when I graduated I checked a box that "closed" my file, so no one could look at it. I dont remember doing that, but I guess I did. Now, I have to fill out paperwork to re-open it... what a mess

Answer 1

And what college was this? You have serious problems!!! You may need to visit the college personally and pay for a pile of sealed transcripts.

Answer 2

With a release, they should give it out. Your record is closed? What the heck does that mean? Many employers do request verification like a transcript - they often want it still in the sealed envelope from the college, or mailed by the college directly to them.

Answer 3

Most colleges have no problem verifying education (degree, dates of attendance, etc.).

Do you happen to owe the college any money? Overdue fines at the library, damage fees for anything wrong with your dorm room, "bad check" charges, etc.? Usually when a college "closes" a record, it's because the student still owes them some money.

You need to call the registrar's office and find out why your record is closed.

Answer 4

maximum ability employers in basic terms ask for transcripts if the area you're employing for demands a level. additionally, If there's a question on the appliance approximately your GPA, they'll ask for the transcripts.
