Verification

Financial Aid Forms

Your FAFSA may be selected for “verification”. If selected, you must provide all requested documents before any financial aid can be awarded. It is recommended that students submit requested verification documents within 30 days of the request. However, the final federal deadline to submit verification documentation is 120 days from the last date of enrollment for the academic year, or September 18, whichever is earlier. Students who fail to complete verification forfeit all federal aid and most state aid for the academic year.

The priority date for financial aid is August 1st for fall semester and December 1st for spring semester. Students need to provide the requested documentation to the Office of Financial Aid before these dates to ensure their financial aid is processed in a timely manner. Documents submitted after the priority dates will be processed, but financial aid may not be processed before the semester’s billing due date. Students are responsible for submitting documentation in a timely manner and paying the balance needed to secure their schedule.

If you did not use the IRS Data Exchange Tool, IRS DDX, to transfer your tax return information to the FAFSA please follow the instructions below to order your tax transcript or submit a signed copy of your tax return to the financial aid office.
