What is verification? What happens if my file is selected for the verification process?
Because students can apply with estimated information, verification is a process that provides for confirmation of actual tax data. Verification itself is a federal requirement and applications are selected by the Department of Education. If your file is selected for verification, please submit signed copies of your current federal tax returns with W-2 statements along with the verification form. The Financial Aid Office will notify you of any additional documentation that may be needed to complete your file.
