Once verification is completed at the university level, the cases will automatically be forwarded to the HEC for further processing.<\/div>\n<div>Upon the HEC\u2019s verification and attestation, the students\u2019 academic records will be stored in the form of tamper-proof, verifiable digital credentials on the blockchain.
