I Told Human Resources I Had A Degree. Job Didn’t Req. It. They Asked For My Transcripts I Am 3 Courses Short.?

Was asked in interview if I had a degree I said I did-AS Computer Info Systems. I thought I had all credits for it and didn’t think they would check anyway because I have many microsoft certifications. Now they asked for my transcripts. I have the job and start in a few days and bring it in then. How do I explain this to human resources? I am 3 classes short of my degree because not all classes transferred from last college.

    be honest when you see your boss and let them know that you were unaware at the time of your applying that 3 of your courses had not transferred over. You believed that you had the degree and hand over your transcripts…It’s better than making up a story; they may be sympathetic and allow you to some time to make it into a degree

    Honesty is the best policy. You have falsified your employment records and this is cause for termination at most firms, but if you can persuade the HR person that you provided information in good faith, you might get away with it. Good luck.

    People don’t just “mistake” that they are 3 credits short.
    You lied and you were caught. Don’t expect to start in a few days.

    truth or you’ll be out so fast it’ll make your head spin
