The federal government requires all colleges and universities to go through a review process known as verification. This process confirms all information submitted on the FAFSA for accuracy and completeness. If you have any questions you may contact Chrislin Wilder at (916) 577-2234 or cwilder [at] jessup [dot] edu.
Because the information submitted on the FAFSA is tax information, you will be asked to submit the following documents:

*Your dependent/independent status is based on FAFSA criteria. Look on your Student Aid Report to see which one applies to you.
Submit all necessary forms to the Financial Aid Department as soon as possible. This procedure takes 7-10 business days to complete after all necessary documents are received. Your financial aid will not be reflected on your student account until the verification process is completed.
