EAST CENTRAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE VERIFICATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TIME PERIOD An applicant selected for verification must provide the proper documentation to the Financial Aid Office within two weeks of the date that the verification documents are requested on the ECCC Financial Aid Information Request Form. CONSEQUENCES OF APPLICANT’S FAILURE TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION IN THE SPECIFIED TIME Applicants who do not provide the proper documentation within the two-week time period will not be eligible to receive aid. However, if an applicant provides the documentation at a later date, the institution will accept the documentation provided it meets all program requirements and deadlines as established by the U.S. Secretary of Education. METHOD OF NOTIFICATION OF VERIFICATION RESULTS AND/OR PROCEDURES FOR APPLICATION CORRECTION After the verification process has been completed, those applicants who require no application corrections will be awarded any applicable aid. After the verification process has been completed, those applicants who require corrections will have those corrections submitted electronically by the Financial Aid Office and will receive a Student Aid Report Acknowledgement from the Department of Education to let them know the corrections have been made. Upon receipt of the corrected ISIR the applicants will be awarded any applicable aid. AWARDING OF AID Applicants will be awarded any aid for which eligibility requirements are met only after the completion of the verification process. No aid will be disbursed until the verification process has been completed. EFFECTS OF COMPLETION OF VERIFICATION AFTER CEASING ATTENDANCE Applicants who do not complete verification while attending the college in limited situations may still be awarded certain types of aid such as Pell Grant. Generally a student must complete verification within 120 days after the last day of the student’s enrollment or the final deadline for that award year as established by the Department of Education, whichever is earlier. A student must have submitted a valid Student Aid Report while still enrolled to be considered eligible for a late disbursement of aid. In addition, other requirements and limitations will apply.
