Financial Aid

 

Verification

Please review your financial aid checklist on Muskie Link (current students) or on your Admission Status Page (new students) to see which items you need to submit. You only need to submit the documents that are requested. Please do not submit documents if they are not requested.

The Federal Processor selects a percentage of FAFSA applications for verification each year. This means that Student Financial Services is required to collect additional documentation to verify the accuracy of information submitted on the FAFSA. During verification, it may be necessary to make corrections to the FAFSA, which may result in changes to an applicant’s eligibility for financial aid. Federal Financial Aid cannot be disbursed to a student’s account until the verification process has been completed.

We will notify you if your FAFSA has been selected for verification. Please review your financial aid checklist on Muskie Link (current students) or on your Admission Status Page (new students) to see which items you need to submit. The links below will allow you to print forms that may be in your checklist. 

Since this is sensitive personal information, please DO NOT EMAIL documents. You may submit documents in Muskie Link (current students) or through your Admission Status Page (new students), or by FAX to 740-826-8196 or mail to:

Muskingum University
