Verification Process

You may be randomly selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education.

If you are selected for verification, the Financial Aid Office will send you an email informing you which verification forms you need to complete and which copies of your IRS Tax Return you will need to submit. The verification worksheet consists of much of the information that was requested on your FAFSA form.

Franklin University will not be able to process your financial aid until all requested information is received. As with all requests from University offices, please respond as quickly as possible.

Note: Do not complete these forms unless you have been notified to do so. Print the required files, complete legibly in blue or black ink, and submit to the Financial Aid office.

If you (or your spouse or parent) did not keep a copy of the Federal IRS Tax Return our office is requesting, you can obtain a 4506-T transcript by calling 1.800.829.1040 or by completing and mailing Form 4506-T. Checkmark number 6 b for tax filer and number 7 for verification of being a non-tax filer.

The IRS will mail the transcript(s) directly to you within two weeks of your request being received. After receiving your transcript from the IRS, sign and date the transcript and submit it to the Financial Aid office.

New requests for documents or information may arise throughout the year. Please respond to any requests for information.
