Verification
Verification is the process your school uses to confirm that the data reported on your FAFSA form is accurate. If you are selected for verification, you will be required to submit additional documentation.
Verification Process
The seven University of Hawai'i Community Colleges are partnering with ProEd to obtain all documentation for verification using Adobe Sign. Adobe Sign enables users to securely send and receive documents for review and signature from any electronic device. Watch the tutorial: Completing Verification in ProEd
Verification Steps in ProEd:
- You will receive an email from ccfinaid@hawaii.edu to access your ProEd account using your UH Portal username and password. Note: There may be a short delay from when you receive an email from your campus Financial Aid Office and when you receive an email to activate your account with ProEd to access your ProVerifier+ Student Dashboard.
- Access ProEd
- In ProEd, review the dashboard and complete and submit each outstanding item. Most items can be completed online and signed electronically using Adobe Sign.

- To speak with a ProEd representative about your verification, you may call (808) 657-6358 from 8:00am to 7:30pm (EST).
