I fucked up by lying that I have a degree

Long story short, I got a full time job before I graduated uni and the completion of my degree was never followed up. I have one semesters worth of uni left but I couldn’t complete it due to my mental health (recently diagnosed with ADHD, depression. I managed to gain 3 years experience in the field before being offered another position at a different company. I’ve been with the new company for 3 weeks and one of their affiliated companies want to run a background check. I’m quite sure they will be checking qualifications.

I know I’ve fucked up and now don’t know what to do to. Any advice would be appreciated.

TL;DR I lied about having a degree and now my employer wants to perform a background check.
