• A: The student has been randomly selected by the Federal Central Processor for a process called Verification. Every school has a minimum 30% of their population flagged for this process. Its purpose is to monitor the consistency of reporting. The Financial Aid Office will send a request letter with a Verification Worksheet enclosed indicating additional forms needed. The process can cause delays in the completion of a financial aid award. Submission of these forms as quickly as possible, after they have been requested, if advised.
