Verification

The Financial Aid Office is required by the U.S. Department of Education to verify files for applicants selected for verification by the central processor. In addition, the Financial Aid Office reserves the right to request verification of additional applicants with questionable or conflicting information. The verification process requires you to submit one or more of the following:

  • An IRS-issued transcript of the student’s, spouse’s, and/or parent’s (whichever is applicable) federal tax return.
  • A signed verification worksheet.
  • All documentation must be received before awards can be finalized. Document tracking letters are sent requesting all necessary verification documents be submitted to the Financial Aid Office within two weeks.
