什么是验证? 

Verification is a process that confirms the accuracy of the information reported on the FAFSA. 每年, the US Department of Education selects students nationwide for FAFSA verification and requests additional documentation, but not all students are selected for verification. We are required to make corrections to Federal and State aid if there are differences between what was reported on the FAFSA and the information submitted through the verification process in order to make sure you receive the appropriate amount of financial support.

How will I know if I have been selected for Verification? 

We will notify you and advise you of your next steps through your SU email if you have been selected for verification. We will list the additional required documents in your my西雅图U帐户, within your 金融援助 Checklist. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) confirmation email will also show if you were selected for verification.
