Verification at NLU

NLU will send an email to your NLU email address if you have been chosen for verification. If selected by the government, verification is not optional and must be completed before NLU can determine your financial aid eligibility. Please login to your NLU portal asap and frequently check your NLU email. Search for all emails from "Student Finance" (our office).

When applying for financial aid, we ask that you complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and any required forms, and submit any required documents, at least one month before your last class ends for the term in which you are seeking financial aid. This gives us adequate time to process your application.

 

What is Verification?

Verification is a process the Department of Education uses to confirm the accuracy of data reported on the FAFSA application. One out of three students are chosen randomly.

How do I complete Verification?

Complete and submit your verification online through the NLU student portal as early as possible. Use the links below to complete your verification.
