I previously completed the verification - why do I have to do it again?
Students are assigned the verification during their final term whether they have completed it previously or not. It is imperative that all information is current.
Why do I keep getting emails about completing the verification?
Once the verification has been completed, reminder emails will stop. If the verification still shows under Tasks on myWSU then further action is required.
