[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to say that something similar happened to my friend at an Ivy. She had already had a job (which she received in March so the verification process happened pre-graduation). She never told the employer and she’s still there 7 years later. She never graduated.

Not a risk I would take but it’s working for some people!

Your friend risks a future employer checking her resume credentials and finding out she does not have the degree she claims to have. It can derail her career and tar her as a liar (even if the fault actually was with the college somehow). If she is shrugging and depending on the belief that no employer will ever ask her Ivy to confirm her degree, she's got her head in the sand. I would bet that seven years after college she figures that her work experience is all that matters now. She's wrong. I used to work for an HR organization and know that some employers would have to reject a candidate who claimed a degree that the candidate's college said wasn't granted, even if the employer liked the candidate. Some employers wouldn't care and some would be understanding if the issue was a single class credit. But many would consider this a problem with the candidate's honesty.[/quote]
