FAFSA Verification

What is Verification?

Verification is the process used to confirm the accuracy of the information reported on selected FAFSAs. You may be selected for verification by the Department of Education or by Gordon College. The financial aid awarding process is not finished until verification has been completed. If there are differences between your FAFSA and the documents you’ve submitted, corrections will be made to the FAFSA by our office, and your financial aid award will be adjusted accordingly.
