Our Best Answer : What is Verification and how did I get selected?

Verification

 

Verification is the process by which an educational institution confirms the accuracy of the data reported on an individual student’s FAFSA.  About 30% of all Free Applications for Federal Student Aid (FAFSAs) are selected for verification by the Central Processing System (CPS).  Bellevue University, through the Office of Financial Aid (FA), may also select applicants for verification to correct any potential conflicts in information.  

 

If your application is selected, FA is required to collect all necessary documentation from you and your parents or spouse, if applicable, per federal guidelines.  Information from these documents is then compared to your FAFSA information and corrections to the FAFSA are made when necessary.  FA must verify all applicants selected for verification, including students previously verified by another school.  

 

It is the responsibility of all students chosen for verification to submit the required verification documentation as listed below to FA soon as possible.  Bellevue University does not award federal (Title IV) aid until the verification process is complete.  On the rare occasion that a student is selected for verification after being awarded Title IV aid, the student will be subject to all the rules and requirements of verification as those applicants who were selected before being awarded.  If the student’s federal Title IV aid eligibility changes as a result of corrections made through the verification process, the student will be responsible for any reduction to their Title IV aid.  CPS will issue the student an updated Student Aid Report (SAR), reflecting any corrections made to their FAFSA, and FA will notify the student, through Bellevue University email, of any changes to their Title IV aid.  All Title IV aid changes will also be reflected on their Financial Aid Award.
