computers located in the Student One Stop Centre. Financial Aid notifications are contingent upon acceptance for admission to KSU.
Federal regulations require each institution to verify FAFSA data for a percentage of its applicants. If you are selected for verification, you must verify certain items you reported on your application (i.e. taxable income, nontaxable income, taxes paid, family size, etc.). The Student Financial Aid Office will send you correspondence outlining additional information needed to complete the verification process. You may view this and other required information by logging into WIRED and going to "Unsatisfied Requirements" under the "Financial Aid" tab.
We verify the FAFSA information for the following:
Students selected by the Central Processing System (CPS)
FAFSA applicants manually selected by a staff member
In addition to verification, students may also be selected for other FAFSA certification requirements regarding conflicting information. If you are required to submit additional information to certify/correct information on your FAFSA, you will be assigned a “Requirements List” item. You may view this information by logging into WIRED (see Section 2) and going to “Unsatisfied Requirements” under the “Financial Aid” tab.
Verification is the process used by the University to check the accuracy of students' and/or parents' information given when applying for federal aid using the FAFSA.
Each applicant receives a Student Aid Report (SAR) or Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) which details eligibility and calculates the estimated family contribution (EFC). The SAR or ISIR will indicate if an applicant has been selected by printing an asterisk (*) to the right of the EFC. Verification instructions also appear in the COMMENTS portion of the SAR.
Federal regulations require each institution to verify FAFSA data for a percentage of its applicants. If selected for verification, the applicant must verify certain items reported on the FAFSA (i.e. adjusted gross income, sources and amounts of nontaxable income, taxes paid, household size, number in college, etc.). The student will receive a correspondence outlining additional information needed to complete the verification process.
The student cannot receive any federal financial aid funds until the verification process has been completed.
If suspected of misreporting information or altering documentation to fraudulently obtain federal funds, the Financial Aid office will report the student to the Office of Inspector General.
All applicants selected for verification through the computer edits used by the U.S. Department of Education's central processor are verified by this institution. In addition to applicants selected by the system, this institution will verify any non-selected applicant, when the institution becomes aware of conflicting information.
When the institution becomes aware that an applicant has been selected for verification, requests for documents are made via the student's WIRED and should view this request, any other required information, and print forms by logging into WIRED and going to "Student Requirements" under the "Financial Aid" heading.
