Verification Process

How do I know if I am Selected for Verification?

The Financial Aid Office will send you an email notification that you are selected for verification and what documents you need to submit to our office.

How do I know which IRS Federal Tax Transcripts to request?

Submit 2010 Tax Information for Summer 2011; Fall 2011; Winter 2012
Submit 2011 Tax Information for Summer 2012; Fall 2012; Winter 2013

NEW FOR 2012-13  Financial Aid can no longer accept a copy of an IRS federal tax return.  You MUST request a transcript of the federal tax return you filed with the IRS for 2011.  You can request tax transcripts by calling 1.800.908.9946 or you can request it online at www.irs.gov.

• Request a 2011 Return Transcript - if you filed your tax return and made no changes after filing.
• Request both a 2011 Return Transcript AND Account Transcript if you amended your tax return after you filed.
