Verification Forms

Submit verification paperwork as soon as notification is received.  Verifications submitted close to the start of term may delay financial aid disbursement, as processing time increases during busy periods in the financial aid office.  Late verifications may also be cause for canceled or undisbursable aid if deadlines are missed.

NSLDS Loan Limits

Under the Department’s regulations at 34 CFR 668.35(d), a student who has inadvertently exceeded annual or aggregate loan limits, and who is not in default on a Title IV loan, may regain Title IV eligibility if the student: (1) repays the excess loan amount in full; or (2) makes satisfactory arrangements to repay the excess amount.

(2) Making Satisfactory Repayment Arrangements for the Excess Loan Amount (Reaffirmation)

A student who has inadvertently overborrowed may regain Title IV eligibility by making satisfactory repayment arrangements acceptable to the servicer of the loan. The satisfactory repayment arrangement requirement can be met if the student agrees, in writing, to repay the excess amount according to the terms and conditions of the promissory note that supported the loan. This is called “reaffirmation.”

The reaffirmation process includes the following steps:

• Step 1 – Either the institution or the student contacts the servicer and explains that the student has inadvertently overborrowed and wishes to reaffirm the debt.
• Step 2 – The servicer sends the student a reaffirmation agreement.
• Step 3 – The student reads, signs, and returns to the servicer the reaffirmation agreement.
• Step 4 – The servicer sends the student confirmation that the reaffirmation agreement has been accepted. The student or servicer must provide a copy of the reaffirmation confirmation to the institution.
• Step 5 – The inadvertent overborrowing is considered to have been resolved as of the date the servicer receives the student’s signed reaffirmation agreement.
