What is Verification?

The Department of Education randomly selects approximately 30% of the students who complete FAFSAs for verification. The verification process requires that the Financial Aid Office verify information submitted on the FAFSA. No federal funds can be disbursed to students selected for the verification process until all required forms are received and the process is complete. In addition, the student may not place for Work-Study until verification is completed.

For the 2008-2009 academic year, the Financial Aid Office will request signed copies of the student’s complete 2007 tax returns and 2007 W2, the parent’s complete 2007 tax return and 2007 W2(if the student is a dependent), and a verification work-sheet is available on the Printable Financial Aid Documents page or click on the link below.   If additional information is needed, the Financial Aid Office will contact the student.

Additional information needed may include information about business value and other assets.

Verification forms can be found at the link below:
