Verification
The U.S. Department of Education randomly selects applications for Verification, a process which involves “validating” certain FAFSA information by having a student (and spouse, if married) supply an IRS tax return transcript and/or other documents. If you are a first-time student to the University and have been selected for verification, your award(s) will be estimated and will not be final or credited to your student account until the verification process is completed. In some cases, awards will be adjusted if differences are found between the FAFSA information and verification documents.
Continuing students will not receive a financial aid package until all requested documents are submitted and verification has been completed.
