The Most Wonderful Time of the Year: eVerification Time!
In order to maintain compliance with the U.S Department of Education regarding the verification of completion of coursework for the almost 75% of our students receiving Federal financial aid, the college has developed a seamless process called eVerification which is a component of the new Lehman 360 platform.
  • To address compliance and avoid financial penalties, eVerification will allow faculty to verify their grades online and provide supporting documentation for ‘F' and Incomplete (INC) grades assigned to students.
  • When completing the eVerification process, it is critical that your response be as thorough and complete as possible.
  • Non-responses to eVerification may result in financial implications for the college.
  • Consult this guide for instructions.
  • Non-Passing Grade Road Map
