Your FAFSA was randomly selected by the U.S. Department of Education for a review process called “Verification.” Verification must be
completed before your financial aid awards will be determined. If there are differences between your FAFSA and this information, we will
update your FAFSA and recalculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Complete verification as soon as possible so that your financial
aid won’t be delayed. Your financial aid administrator will help you.
