Verification

• Your need based aid will not disburse until verification is completed and will be canceled if not completed by the time more than 60% of the term has elapsed (Nov. 2, 2025 for Fall semester, April 1, 2026 for J-Term/Spring, and April 13, 2026 for Spring semester only). Your award may be reinstated if verification is completed after the deadline, pending any changes resulting from the verification process.
• Your class registration may be canceled or put on hold if you require need-based aid to pay your university charges.
• The university will charge applicable late fees on your student account owing balance.
• You will be responsible for paying your entire costs without the benefit of your need-based financial aid.

YES! If the information on your FAFSA is different from the information on your tax forms and verification worksheet, we must correct your FAFSA accordingly. If the corrections result in a change to your award, you will be sent an email message directing you to your revised aid award on Banner.

You will receive an email from Student Financial Services requesting the required verification documents if they have not already been submitted. Please note that verification documents for new students are not required at PLU until after you have submitted your admission deposit.

Any change made to your FAFSA at anytime during the year may result in your application being selected for verification.  To avoid being selected for verification unnecessarily, check with us before making a correction to determine if the change is even required or necessary.

Verification must be completed even though a Special Circumstance Form has been submitted. The Special Circumstance Form will be reconsidered in light of your verified FAFSA information.
