JIU Verification Policy

The JIU Verification Policy is written to ensure that JIU students understand the requirements to complete federal verification. Here are JIU’s guidelines for verification:

• Students selected for verification must provide documents to clear verification.
• Students must submit required verification by the end of the 8-week course term or 14 days, whichever is greater.
• Students who fail to provide the required documentation within the established time frame will be dismissed from JIU.
• You will be notified if the results of verification change your scheduled award.  
• Any suspected case of fraud will be reported to the Regional Office of the Inspector General, or, if more appropriate, to a state or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction to investigate the matter. Referrals to local or state agencies will be reported on an annual basis to the Inspector General.
• No interim disbursements of Federal Student Aid will be made prior to the completion of verification.
• Requests for special circumstances are handled by requesting Professional Judgment from your Financial Aid Advisor at 800.811.5663, option 3.
