Timeline to Submit Verification Documents


We will post all of the requirements you must complete for federal verification on your MYLMU account after you have submitted your tuition deposit of your intent to enroll at LMU. We recommend that you submit these requirements as soon as they are posted to your MYLMU account, but no later than June 16, 2023.

Submitting requirements within this timeline will:

  • Allow time for LMU Financial Aid to review your documents and determine if your financial aid award must be revised.
  • Allow federal verification to be completed, and your award finalized in time for you to make payment arrangements with Student Accounts by their deadline.
  • Ensure that your financial aid can be disbursed to your student account prior to the start of the fall semester. Aid cannot be disbursed if verification has not been completed.
  • Ensure that your financial aid can be disbursed to your student account prior to the start of the fall semester. Aid cannot be disbursed if verification has not been completed.

We are also required to report your revised information as a correction to your FAFSA, therefore, it is important that you do not make further corrections or changes to your FAFSA while verification is pending, and once verification has been completed.

Information to Keep in Mind:

  • If we are required to revise your financial aid award, we will do so and post a message to your PROWL account.
  • If financial aid has been disbursed for which you are no longer eligible, these funds will be reversed from your student account and we will post a message to your PROWL account.
  • If certain funds for which you are no longer eligible have been refunded to you, we will report these funds as an "overpayment" to the Department of Education, and you will be responsible for repaying these funds before you can receive further financial aid.
  • If no changes occur during our review, we will also post a message to your PROWL account notifying you that the federal verification process is complete.
