Receiving Aid in '07-'08
Verification and Quality Assurance
“Verification” is a process of confirming data supplied by the applicant and/or parents to the Federal government. UF participates in the federal Quality Assurance Program, a program that allows us to establish our own verification criteria and determine which student files must be verified. Because of this, you may ignore any statement on your Federal Student Aid Report that you are being verified. If your application is selected for verification by UF, you will receive a letter from us explaining what documents to provide. Do not submit any documents unless we request that you do so. If your application is verified, aid funds cannot be disbursed to you until you have submitted all requested documents and the accuracy of your information has been checked. This process can take six weeks or longer.
