Financial Aid

Verification

What is verification?

If your financial aid application was selected for review in a process called “verification.” In this process we will be comparing information from your aid application to copies of your (and your spouse's if you are married) Federal tax forms. Dependant students are required to provide a copy of their federal tax returns along with their parent(s). Under the financial aid program rules (CFR Title 34, Part 668), the college has the right and obligation to ask you for this information before we can award you financial aid.

If there are differences between your application and your financial documents, we may need to make corrections to your Student Aid Report. In most cases we can do this electronically. We cannot process your financial aid application without these documents.

What you need to do:

Complete verification worksheet.

Attach your SIGNED tax forms and all other appropriate financial documents and if married, your spouse’s information or parent’s if dependant.

Submit the completed worksheet and documents to the Office of Financial Aid. You may fax the information to (734) 462-4527. If you fax the forms, please do not also mail them. Call the Office of Financial Aid if you have questions regarding this process.
