I once quit halfway through an application to some company (a consulting firm? this was years ago) because the web-based form wouldn't let me advance without filling in information about my high school that I no longer have.

I did have all the information about my AA and BS, but apparently that wasn't enough.

Tell them this!! :)

that's not unreasonable, when applying for job you need to get your stuff together. So many companies have later found out employees claimed degrees they never got. HR protects against that.

only if that was his highest qualification...

this request is very unreasonable if he got another certificate after this.

A high school diploma? Your high school grades? Who cares?

I had a phd and three degrees included.

>that's not unreasonable

Right, it's pure insanity. Documentation of how you behaved as a minor when you already have multiple college degrees is completely irrelevant.
