Undergraduate and Graduate remote interview
What is a University/Graduate Remote Interview?
The Vericant University Remote Interview is available to those applying to both undergraduate and graduate programs. The Vericant University Remote Interview can be taken from anywhere in the world.
Vericant will facilitate a spoken interview and a writing sample through the Vericant Online Interview Room. The Online Interview Room is an in-browser web tool, which means you don’t need to download any additional software or apps.

Are the processes, prices, interview delivery times and processes the same for Remote and In-Person Interviews?
These are the exact same as In-Person Interviews.
Do I need to prepare anything before my interview?
Bring the original document of the ID you registered with.
Make sure you have a laptop/desktop computer — the interview cannot be conducted on tablets (e.g. iPads) or cellphones.
Make sure that you are able to interview alone in an enclosed and quiet room, far away from any disturbances.
Ensure that you have a stable network connection that can host a video call for an extended period of time. Connection via an ethernet cable will be the most reliable.
Be on time! Try to access the Online Interview Room at least 15 minutes before your interview time. This will give you ample time to test your audio and video, and get ready for the interview! (Click here to learn more about the Online Interview Room).
What happens during my interview?
5-10 minutes before your interview, enter your Vericant account and click on the meeting link to enter the meeting room. Once you’re connected to the interviewer:
The interviewer will ask to see your ID.
The interviewer will make sure you have all the materials you need before the interview starts.
The interviewer will explain the interview process to you.
The interviewer will check the meeting room and conduct some checks for security purposes. Please cooperate with the interviewer’s instructions.
After the video interview is finished, the interviewer will have you start the writing sample. You will have 30 minutes to complete the writing sample. The interviewer will stay connected to you in the call, in case you have any questions or problems during the writing sample.
What if I don’t have my ID on the day of the interview?
If you did not bring your ID (ID card or passport): you can show the interviewer a digital version of your ID (picture or scan).
What if I forget or miss my interview?
If you are unable to start the interview within 5 minutes of the scheduled interview time for any reason, it will be viewed as forsaking the interview. You will not receive a refund. If you still need to interview, you must register for a new interview.
What if my interviewer is not in the meeting?
If your interviewer is still not in the meeting 5 minutes after your scheduled start time, please contact us at info@vericant.com.
