Verification

Students who are selected for verification by the federal FAFSA processor will be required to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool or provide a 2011 federal tax transcript and/or other documentation after we receive official FAFSA information from the federal processor.  Student Financial Aid Services will send a verification worksheet and a request for federal income tax information to selected new students and through email notification to continuing students.  This information will need to be returned to Student Financial Aid Services within 30 days of notification.  Carefully read all comments and follow all instructions printed on your Student Aid Report (SAR) for any other problems (such as citizenship status or selective service registration) that could affect your eligibility to receive financial aid.  Failure to complete the verification process in a timely manner and/or where information is inconsistent with the data submitted on the FAFSA may jeopardize a student’s registration or admissions status.  After all documentation has been submitted and the verification process completed, if any changes have been made, a new ISIR and award letter will be generated to the student.
