1. The Work Number is Drexel University's verification vendor
2. Drexel University's Company Code: 20797
3. Your Social Security number

Once the verifier has the necessary information, they can quickly contact the Work Number's Client Service Center at 1.800.367.5690 or theworknumber.com to expedite the verification process. The turnaround time for the completion of employment and income verification requests is 24 to 48 hours.

Please note: Drexel and the Work Number cannot disclose probability of continued employment, applicant next pay increase, projected amount of next pay increase, or reasons for employee separation from Drexel.
