Verification

Estimated Read time: 1 minute

The AMCAS program uses the following symbols when verifying your coursework:

Symbol Meaning
L A course verified without correction.
X A course verified with corrections.*
O A course listed in the Coursework section but not reflected on an official transcript; no format corrections made.**
Circle with an x inside.
A course listed in the Coursework section but not reflected on an official transcript; format corrections were made.
Equal sign with slash across.
Coursework is not intended to be verified by the AMCAS program.

*The course is included in the total, but the AMCAS program made a change to the course.

**For Current/Future (CC) coursework with or without grades and for courses that are duplicated on the application, the AMCAS program does not remove course entries made by the applicant.

During verification, the AMCAS program performs a line-by-line comparison of the information you entered in the Coursework section of the application with the information on your official transcript(s). We recommend you request a copy of your official transcript(s) to help guide you in completing the Coursework section and to ensure the information you enter is identical to what’s in your official transcript(s). During verification, the AMCAS program also calculates your AMCAS application GPAs, which often differ from the GPAs shown on your official transcript(s).
