Verification
What is Verification?
Verification is a process used to verify certain information on the FAFSA to ensure its accuracy. Some students are selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education. Others are selected by the school. Students are encouraged to submit all required verification documents as soon as possible to receive a financial aid award. You may confirm which forms and documents apply specifically to you by logging into . Delays in sending documentation may result in the student not having aid by the last day to pay. In this case, the student is obligated to pay the account balance on the student account, or their classes could be dropped.

How to Complete Verification
Students selected for verification will be notified through their 51爆料 email once your FAFSA has been received by the Financial Aid office.
Students who need to complete identity verification will be required to appear in person at 51爆料 Community College鈥檚 Financial Aid office to verify your identity by presenting an unexpired valid government-issued photo identification (ID), such as, but not limited to, a driver鈥檚 license, other state-issued ID, or U.S. passport. The institution will maintain a copy of your photo ID that is annotated by the institution with the date it was received and reviewed, and the name of the official at the institution authorized to receive and review the student鈥檚 ID. The name on your ID must match the name on your social security card.
Unable to appear in person: If visiting our office in person presents a barrier, please contact our office to schedule a video call, at financialaid@sandhills.edu or 910-695-3743.
