What is Verification?
Verification is the process of comparing the information on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application with documents provided by the student.
The process is to verify the accuracy of the application information. The verification policies are used in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education verification guidelines.
- The policy ensures that the information provided by the applicant is correct before any funds are awarded to the student.
- All applications selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education will be verified. Others may be selected by the university's Financial Aid Office if inconsistent data information exists.
- In accordance with federal guidelines, the university's financial aid policy is to withhold the awarding of federal student financial aid until the verification process is completed.
If you have been selected for verification, the student and/or parent will be required to submit the requested documents.
An email will be sent to your Embry‑Riddle email account. The required documents will be on your “Student Homepage,” under the “Task” tile – “To-Do.”
If documents were received but incomplete or illegible, you will need to to the Daytona Beach Financial Aid Office. You will be able to review the status of your items in your “Task” tile – “To-Do.”
Submit all documents and completed forms required on your “To-Do List” to the .
Please note: Verification processing time may take up to 4-6 weeks from the date the last required document is received. There are peak periods when processing times could be longer.
- An email reminder is sent to the student's university e-mail account if additional documents are requested.
- The “Task” tile (To Do’s) on your Student Homepage also lists the additional documents requested.
- The requested verification documents must be received within 45 days of the first notification that documents are needed. You will be sent three notifications.
- The Financial Aid Office must receive all verification documents no later than 30 days before the last day of enrollment or the end of the school year, whichever is earlier.
