It is not a badge we hand out. It is a checklist, and this is the whole of it.
A listing carries a verified mark when four things are true: the approval document is on file and in date, the fee has been confirmed with the institution in the current academic year, the contact details reach a human, and nothing on the page contradicts the official prospectus.
When one of those lapses, the mark comes off until it is restored. We would rather show you a listing with an honest gap in it than a page that looks complete and is not.
This is also why some well-known names are missing. Absence here is usually paperwork we have not finished, not a judgement.
