The federal processor selects at least 30% of all applications for the verification process. Most applications are randomly selected and a few are selected because there may be an error. The financial aid office may verify an application to resolve any conflicts of information. The financial aid office must confirm that all information on your FAFSA application is accurate and complete. You will be asked to submit tax documentation and complete a verification worksheet. Please note, that the verification process must be completed before you are eligible for financial aid.
