Verification Requirements

Verification is the process of comparing the data provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with other requested documentation such as a tax return transcript. Some of the selection process is random.  However, students may be selected because the information on the FAFSA is either inconsistent or likely to have been estimated.

If a FAFSA is selected for verification the student will be sent instructions to begin the process, which can be completed online.  If you have any questions or concerns about the verification process you can contact the Office of Financial Aid.

Once the verification process is complete the student's federal financial aid can be processed.  Failure to complete the verification process will result in the cancellation of all federal financial aid, and may result in an outstanding balance on the student's account.  Verification may also result in a revision to any aid awarded prior to the completion of the verification process.
