Verification is a process used to check the accuracy of the information reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The U.S. Department of Education selects a percentage of students for verification each year. Students may be chosen institutionally for verification if there appear to be inaccuracies. If selected, the student must submit documentation to the Office of Student Financial Services. If the documentation does not match what was reported on the FAFSA, we will correct the application. If corrections are made, it may affect eligibility for financial aid.
