Verification
For students selected for verification for the 2023-24 academic year, the school must have verification documents and a valid output document no later than 120 days after the last day of enrollment or September 16, 2024, whichever is earlier. Schools may set earlier deadlines for the campus-based and loan programs.
Verification is complete when all the requested documentation and a valid ISIR or SAR (one on which all the information is accurate and complete) have been received.
For the deadlines described here, the date the CPS processed the ISIR transaction is considered to be the date the institution received the ISIR. On the SAR, SAR Acknowledgment, and ISIR printout, the processed date is above the EFC on the first page.
