11. What does it mean to be chosen for verification?

If you are selected for Verification, you will be asked to turn in additional forms to the Office of Financial Aid. These forms include, but are not limited to: copy of Parents' or Spouse's signed tax returns, copy of student's signed tax return, and Verification Worksheets. (include loan link to forms)

Verification is a process whereby the Office of Financial Aid is required to audit the information reported on the FAFSA. Students are selected randomly by the Federal Processor for this procedure.

If you are selected for Verification, financial aid will not be awarded until all verification is complete. Data on your FAFSA is subject to corrections resulting from the verification process.

12. What happens if I drop a class?

If you drop a class prior to the census date/Twelfth class day (included in the University's Calendar) you may be responsible for repayment of the difference between the amount of money you received and the amount specified for the new enrollment status. If you drop a class, you must make sure you are in compliance with our Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy. (include loan link).
