When should I submit my documents for academic background check?
Updated at Feb 6, 2026, Viewed 0 times
To ensure a smooth admission process, students should submit their academic documents for background verification as early as possible, ideally at the time of the application.
Early submission helps ensure that, once the program is successfully completed, students can receive their official certificate and academic transcript promptly.
Recommended Timeline
1. During Application
- Upload your transcripts, certificates, and academic history when you sign up an account with Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the Student Portal.
- This allows our verification team to review your records while your application is being processed.
2. Before Requesting the Certificate and Transcript
- Your documents must be submitted and marked VERIFIED before you can request the certificate and transcript.
- Incomplete or missing academic records may result in your status remaining at REJECTED until verification is complete. You will not be able to obtain your certificate or transcript until the issue is resolved.
