Applicant Responsibility
- Applicants selected for verification by the U. S. Department of Education are required to provide requested information or documentation in order to be eligible to receive Title IV student aid funds.
- If a Pell or campus-based program applicant's dependency status changes during the award year, or the original application was filed incorrectly, including marital status, the applicant must provide documentation to the OFA and the OFA will make the necessary change. For the 2016-2017 award year, marital status cannot be updated unless the student made an error when initially submitting their FAFSA. Documentation must be provided for any changes to be made.
- The applicant must repay any overpayment discovered during verification or updating.
