Verification of FAFSA <br />In accordance with federal student aid regulations, the student data entered on the Free Application for <br />Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) maybe selected for verification. <br />Each award year the U.S. Department of Education randomly selects certain federal aid applicants for <br />whom the institution must verify based on certain data elements provided on his or her FAFSA. <br />Pacific College will verify 100% of the federally selected (*) students and may select the student under <br />institutional verification due to conflicting data. This review process must be completed before Federal <br />Student Aid (FSA) funds can be released. All conflicting data must be resolved before any FSA funds can <br />be released. <br />If a student is selected for verification, a Verification Letter will be sent to the student and/or parent <br />indicating what documentation is needed to complete the verification process. A student selected for <br />verification is typically provided 14 days to resolve the matter. The details of verification are explained <br />in the Verification Letter. <br />Cost of Attendance and Standard Student Expenses <br />Cost of attendance includes the following items: <br />• Tuition and Fees <br />• Books and Supplies <br />• Room and Board <br />• Transportation <br />• Other Educational Costs <br />The cost of attendance can include (i) direct educational costs such as tuition, and fees; and (ii) estimated <br />indirect cost estimates for books, supplies, housing, transportation, and other personal living expenses as <br />a single student. Please note that for debt management purposes, Pacific College strongly encourages <br />students to borrow responsibly. Contact the Financial Aid Office to discuss other aid resources that may <br />be available. The Financial Aid Office packages students based on the maximum aid eligibility. <br />Pacific College 2020-2021 Catalog 17 <br />
