Verification Information

The federal processor uses a system of edits, or flags, which produces a selection of certain applications for verification. If a student’s application is selected for verification, this may mean that a data element in his/her application does not fit generally recognized patterns (not necessarily that the element is incorrect; it merely must be verified), or that the student was simply selected at random. Federal financial aid cannot be disbursed until verification is complete. The Federal Direct/Stafford Loans may not be certified and processed until verification is complete. Estimated financial aid awards will be removed if verification is not completed within specified deadlines. Any deferred tuition and fees become due immediately. Student will be notified of any adjustments that need to be made. If the corrections are done electronically, the student will be sent an updated Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor.

Access Careers Financial Aid Office may also select files for verification if there appears to be a conflict of information. If a student is selected for verification, the student is notified on the Student Aid Report (SAR).
