FAS understands many institutions take additional measures in verification file review for a variety of reasons. These range from institutional funding strategies and specific state program requirements to serving students in very specific financial situations. Highly skilled, experienced FAS professionals offer remote processing assistance with verification in a manner replicating the institution’s methods, policies and procedures. Making FAS an extension of your financial aid office allows the campus staff more “hands-on” time with students. Our VerFAS approach includes:
- Establishing secure connectivity to your system(s)
- Utilizing the institution’s custom forms and information
- Mirroring your verification policies and procedures
- Taking any additional steps beyond the standard Federal verification requirements
- Making all verification updates, corrections and notes in the client’s system
- Options for electronic file sharing accelerate processing time and add extra layers of quality control
