Hello All, I interviewed and passed all and got the offer letter. I went through the HireRight process and entered my highest schooling (which was grad school and where I did not graduate, 1 semester left but left to pursue a job at the time). I did not falsify any information on the background check and wrote not graduated, but I think I have an issue.

HireRight completed their report, and everything was green except something on Global Education - Pending Security Review. Education review section says that DegreeVerify passed but they couldn't confirm major. The thing has been sitting there for a while and I was going crazy as to what could be the issue.

I went back to review my resume and see that actually, it lists under Education the major and a degree (which I did not receive). I swear I was not trying to mis-represent anything there. I used one of these resume generator services and it asked for a bunch of information and I was pretty sure that I ticked off no degree.

I just realized this and got super super nervous about it. What's my best course of action? Should I contact HR and tell them about this? Will someone reach out to me? Do they cross-reference the background checks with the resumes at all? Very nervous about this. I seriously never meant to lie and it's an honest mistake on my part. What do I do?
