验证是一个用于审查通过FAFSA提交的信息的过程，以确保其准确完成。该过程由美国教育部发起。

在验证2021 - 2022年援助期间，UMSL学生金融服务办公室将收集文件，以确定FAFSA上的某些问题是否正确报告。如果您被选为验证，则必须执行以下操作：

  • 监视您的UMSL电子邮件和MyView帐户。如果需要其他信息/文档，将通过电子邮件和/或myview要求它们。
  • 如果需要纠正信息，我们的办公室将以电子方式提交更正，并在中央处理器接受和处理后继续进行文件审查。如果不需要更正，则将继续进行审查。

因为有某些截止日期，因此必须及时完成验证过程。未能完成申请的验证将阻止您获得经济援助奖。对于联邦Pell Grant，必须在出席最后一天的90天内提交验证材料，以较早者为准。对于所有其他计划，我们的办公室必须不迟于上班日期收到验证材料。如果您不再上课，我们将无法为您提供经济援助。

Allow approximately 7-14 business days following receipt of your materials for the verification review, and an additional time if corrections are required.

IMPORTANT:If you wait until the summer months to submit the documents needed for the process to be completed, the amount of time it takes to complete the verification process may increase. Coordinators will contact students via their UMSL email address if additional information is required; please make sure you are checking your emails during the summer.
