FAFSA Overview
Verification: What It Means and What You Need to Do
Sometimes, after submitting your FAFSA, you may be selected for a process called verification. This means the Financial Aid Office needs to confirm some of the information you provided on your FAFSA before your aid can be finalized.
If you're selected, don’t panic - it’s common and doesn’t mean something is wrong. You’ll get an email in your Buccaneer account or a notification in Self Service explaining what documents are needed. You must submit all requested documents promptly to avoid delays in your financial aid.
