验证
验证 is an audit of the financial aid application information. Many student files are selected by the Federal 过程or in the process of 应用ing for aid. Some files are r和omly selected while others are selected because of appearing to be error prone. If the student’s file is selected, requested documentation should be submitted to the Office of 金融援助 at MSM immediately because of specified deadline date requirements. We normally ask that the documents be provided within two weeks of being selected for verification.
This process does not mean that you are in trouble if questions answered were wrong on the original application. It just means that The Office of 金融援助 needs to correct the information. Changes made do have the possibility of effecting the types 和/or amounts of aid you might receive.

过程
Once all required items have been received the Office of 金融援助 will review 和 make changes, 如果有必要的话, to the student’s financial aid information. This process is typically completed within two weeks of items being received.
New students will typically have a preliminary financial aid notification letter prior to verification being completed. If changes are made to the types or amounts of aid received the student will be notified of the changes through receipt of an undated financial aid notification letter.
Returning students will not receive a financial aid notification letter until this process has been completed.
Consequences of not complying
If the required documentation is not provided to the Office of 金融援助 before the necessary deadline, MSM will not be able to 应用 any financial aid to your billing account.
