Verification & Documentation Policy
Verification & Documentation Policy
Verification is the process by which the Financial Aid Office (FAO) compares the information on the financial aid application with source documents provided by the student to verify the accuracy of the application information. These policies are to be used in conjunction with the Department of Education (DOE) and the California Student Aid Commission’s (CSAC) verification guidelines. Santiago Canyon College (SCC) will verify the information on the Student Aid Report (SAR) or Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) for all students who complete the application process for federal & state financial aid, and who are selected for verification by the Department of Education or the California Student Aid Commission. In addition, SCC may select files for verification to resolve conflicting information.
At SCC, financial aid will not be awarded to those selected for verification until all required documents are submitted and the verification process has been completed.
