Does a company verify your school attendance if they hire you as an intern?

<p>My graduation from a university is not set until around march of next year, but I am currently not going to school because some classes I need are not offered this quarter.</p>

<p>I applied at an internship that I really want to work at, and I got an interview.</p>

<p>Will the company verify that I am going to school by verifying it with my university?</p>

<p>If you can provide some proof to the company that you didn’t actually withdraw from the university, you’re just taking some time off, you might be fine. Maybe a transcript or some sort of documentation from your advisor? I could see some companies caring, some not. </p>

<p>Many internships will require you to send a copy of your transcripts with the application. If that’s the case, they’ll see quite clearly. </p>

<p>If you explain your reasoning for not being in classes this semester, they may still allow it. </p>

<p>It’s far better to be straight with them and say, “I am not tsking classes this semester because of X reason” (especially when the reason is something benign) than to play coy games with them. It’s easy to verify if someone is attending a college especially when you have the power to ask them for transcripts.If you create the impression that you are actively taking classes when you’re not, it might be a bad sign to them (“this guy messes around with things that aren’t even that serious, what will happen if he is under any pressure on the job?”) </p>

<p>Nah, you’re better than that and you deserve to be treated with more respect than that. Just say, “I’m enrolled at XYZ University but I’m not taking classes this semester because of whatever reason,” Chances are they wouldn’t even care – if you’re qualified, you’re qualified.</p>
