My college has now decided 3 weeks before school that my financial aid needs to be verified. I completed my FAFSA in February, and I was sent an award letter back in March. According to my school account where I view all my personal information such as transcipts and financial aid, my financial aid has been complete. Now, all of the sudden, they have decided it needs to be verified. I have went through this process before, and it took them over a month to verify my information. However, they told me a week or two after I had completed FAFSA. This time, they waited until the last minute. I am extremely upset because my financial aid office is useless and lost 99% of the time, and I know this is going to delay the release of my student loans, and I will have to wait to get my refund. Is there anything I can do? Should I demand they process my verification immediately (because they claim they do it in the order received) because it is their fault they waited until the last minute?
