Financial Aid
Verification
Verification is the process used by the U.S. Department of Education to check the accuracy of
student and/or parents' information used when applying for federal aid using the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Central Processing System processes the information on the
FAFSA and calculates student eligibility using several editing criteria specifications designed
to detect inconsistencies and mistakes.
Each applicant receives a Student Aid Report (SAR), which details eligibility and calculates the
Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The SAR will indicate if an applicant has been selected for
verification by printing an asterisk (*) to the right of the EFC. Verification instructions also
appear in the comments portion of the SAR.
Applicants selected for verification will be required to provide at the minimum the following
documents. You can download and print them here.
