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.
