All schools would verify transcripts received by them. I think Ozpin knows but it keeping it under his metaphorical hat for some reason. It is possible that, like Ruby, Jaune is one of his personal 'special projects' (of the same that I suspect led to the "more mistakes" issue). I think he might have a bad habit of acting on a whim and playing god when the opportunity arises because he can see a potential good outcome to bending the rules.

Jaune is not going to break free of the prison he's constructed for himself until he's willing to admit:

1. That he can't do this on his own;

2. Fear is the greatest enemy;

3. Secrets are a weapon for your enemies to use against you.

It's going to be a hard, hard few episodes for him until this happens.
