We will send you a detailed notice stating exactly what is needed to complete verification. Please do not submit any documents to our office unless specifically directed to do so. We are not able to continue processing your file until we receive this information.
Please note: Incoming students who are selected for verification will receive estimated federal and state financial aid. You will receive a revised financial aid offer if the estimated aid changes as a result of the verification process. Federal and state aid will not apply toward your semester charges until the verification process is complete.
If you have been selected for verification and you do not want to receive federal and state aid, you are not required to complete the verification process. Please contact the Student Financial Aid office if you do not plan to complete the verification process.
