Meet ProVerifier+
The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid is excited to introduce our new automated verification solution called ProVerifier+ powered by ProEducation Solutions. If your FAFSA is selected for verification, you will receive an introductory email to your preferred University of Houston email address. This new tool enables you to complete verification documents from your smart phone, tablet or computer— even signing electronically! The tool is located within your AccessUH account. Just look for the ProVerifier+ icon (pictured).
We will begin using ProVerifier+ for verification with the 2023-24 FAFSA.
Upon receipt of all required documents, the automated verification process will begin. Students will be notified via email or text if there are any questions or if any additional documentation is required.
Questions? Call ProVerifier+ at 713-748-3249. The ProVerifier+ call center is open from 7 a.m.to 6:30 p.m.
Verification is a random quality-control method used by the U.S. Department of Education to check the accuracy of information submitted on the FAFSA. All schools that disburse federal Title IV funds are required to participate in the verification process. The verification process is a manual review of your application and requires additional documentation and additional processing time.
Review a list of ways to reduce your chances of being selected for verification on the How to Apply for Financial Aid page.
Students Selected for Verification
If you are selected for verification, you will be notified via email informing you of any additional documentation required or any changes to your award due to verification.
Beginning 2023-24, any requested documentation will be completed using our ProVerifier+ tool found in AccessUH. Any additional requested information will be “initiated” in your myUH To-Do List and is also required to process your financial aid application.
Failure to submit the requested documents will prevent awarding or result in the cancellation of existing financial aid offers. If any differences are found between information reported on the FAFSA and actual figures reported on verification documents, corrections will be made to your FAFSA and adjustments may be made to your financial aid package.
Note: When referring to your myUH To-Do List, be sure to select the correct award year for financial aid information:
- 2023 aid year includes fall 2022, spring 2023 and summer 2023 terms
- 2024 aid year includes fall 2023, spring 2024 and summer 2024 terms
Additional questions about verification may be answered on the Scholarships and Financial Aid FAQ page orbrowse our helpful FATV videos.
