Consumer Information Disclosure

Verification Policy
Verification is a process used to check the accuracy of certain information entered on the FAFSA and to resolve any errors. Some students are selected by the Department of Education and some are selected by the financial aid office. Selected students will need to provide additional documentation to the financial aid office before we can finalize and disburse federal financial aid.
Special Circumstances/Professional Judgment
The U.S. Department of Education allows the MUIH Office of Financial Aid limited discretion in making professional judgments based on special circumstances that may affect your family. If your family has experienced extenuating circumstances that would result in a change to the data you provided in your aid application, then you may be able to appeal for a re-evaluation of your aid.
