Student Verification

Within the financial aid world for higher education institutions, "verification" is a confirmation process through which institutions request additional information and/or supplemental documentation from students based on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) responses. After initial processing and data checks, the U. S. Department of Education flags some student applications for verification by the target institution. In these cases, the target institutions will request additional information, documents, or corrections from students to continue processing their applications for financial assistance.

To help alleviate the task-intensive student verification process, Anthology Inc. has automated, streamlined, and simplified this with its Student Verification. This solution provides an Associate Portal for institutional administrators and financial aid staff users and a Student Portal for students to submit documentation to complete the verification process.

Associate Portal

As a financial aid staff user, the Associate Portal enables you to:

  • Perform tasks related to student and ISIR imports, download ISIR corrections, and manage student and staff assignments.

  • Filter and view Dashboards and Worklists to quickly identify the student status and details related to required documents, missing signatures, conflicting information, and email communication.

  • Configure and manage the form wizard, HTML, PDF documents, and form libraries visible to students.
