The federal government randomly selects about 30% of applicants for a review process called verification. This requires colleges and universities to verify or confirm the data reported by students and their parent(s) on the FAFSA. The verification process ensures that eligible students receive all the financial aid to which they are entitled.
The main reasons you could be selected for verification include:
Random selection
The FAFSA you submitted was incomplete
Your FAFSA contains estimated information
Data you provided on the FAFSA is inconsistent
The Office of Financial Aid requires all students/parents to submit their tax returns from 2 years prior to the current year of aid if they filed taxes and did not use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when filling out the FAFSA. Example: If the aid year is 2020-2021, we will need your 2018 tax return(s).
Options for Obtaining tax returns:
After all of your documents have been reviewed and processed, we can work to offer you financial aid.
You will need to submit the Non Filers Tax Information - Online Form DocuSign used for Non-Tax Filers with no SSN or ITIN, and you will need to submit proof of income earned along with this form.
