About FAFSA Verification

Hardin-Simmons University Verification Policy

Each year the Central Processing System (CPS) of the U.S. Department of Education selects a number of Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms (FAFSAs) for a process called verification.

If your FAFSA is selected for verification, Hardin-Simmons University (HSU) will need to collect additional documentation from you in order to verify some of the information you provided on your FAFSA. For example, HSU可能会要求你提供关于你收入的额外信息, the number of people in your household, 在你家里上大学的人数和/或其他信息. This page will give you an idea of what to expect if your FAFSA is selected for verification.

Selection and How You Will Be Notified

如果您已被选中进行FAFSA验证, the details listed below explain how to find, complete, 并提交暑期所需的验证文件, Fall, and Spring 2023-2024 semesters.

如果您的FAFSA被选中进行验证，您将收到以下通知:

  2. HSU将通过电子邮件和学生自助服务门户通知您. 一旦HSU收到选择用于验证的FAFSA，通知将立即开始. Notifications will continue until you have submitted all documents required for verification or the deadline for submission has passed.

来自HSU的通知将包含到安全的链接 Campus Logic StudentForms 门户，以便查看有关所需文档的信息. The Campus Logic StudentForms 门户是FAFSA验证信息的主要通信点. Visit the site often during the verification process for information on outstanding documentation.
