Verification Process Changes

July 21

For 2021-22 FAFSA recipients, there have been recent changes in our verification process by the Department of Education with the elimination of some required financial aid documentation. Some students will find that fewer documents are requested while others may not have to submit any additional information. We ask that you frequently check your WMU email and GoWMU. Please submit requested documentation in a timely manner so that we can continue to assist you.
