Re Vera Background Check
After enrolling, you will be required to complete a background check to confirm that the information provided in your application is an accurate reflection of your experience and accomplishments. To assist us with this process, we have chosen Re Vera Services, a company specializing in academic verifications, to be the third-party provider of these services for our MBA programs. Re Vera will verify your employment, academic records, and references.
Once you have accepted your offer and paid the enrollment deposit, you will receive an invitation from verifications@reveraservices.com to initiate the verification process. There is a $125 fee for this service. Once initiated, Re Vera Services will provide you with written confirmation of payment as well as your release.
The Re Vera review process will take approximately 2 to 4 weeks from the time you receive confirmation of payment and release. We ask that you initiate this process as soon as possible to avoid any delays that could negatively impact your program start.
Please note: admission may be rescinded if you elect not to initiate or complete this required review, or if the background check reveals an ethical violation.
