Verification is the process of confirming that information reported by the student and parent(s) or spouse on the FAFSA is accurate. Each year, approximately 30 percent of all student applicants are randomly selected by the federal processor for verification. A student may also be selected for verification by the university.

Students selected for verification will have a verification comment on their Student Aid Report (SAR – the output document received after completing the FAFSA). In addition, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will notify selected students via alerts on their myUMBC account if verification documentation is needed.
