This section is only for those students selected for Verification. Only students selected for Verification should submit additional documents which will be listed in your "To Do List" by mid-March. Review your "To Do List" often, because verification items are subject to change.

Failure to submit all required verification documents may cause delays or cancellation of disbursement of federal and state awarded financial assistance. Finance charges accrue daily on past due balances. If financial assistance is delayed or cancelled, it is the student's/parent's responsibility to find other resources to pay all charges prior to the due date in order to avoid finance charges.

Priority Deadline is April 15 for submitting your Verification documents.

Please note important information below:

• Your federal and state aid will not be awarded until your Verification documents are complete.
• Your prompt response is required if additional documentation is necessary. Failure to complete verification may result in cancellation of your federal aid and state aid.
• Submit your verification documents as soon as possible, but not later than October 15.
• Any changes in your financial assistance due to Verification will be updated on WaveNet.

Other forms/documentation that may be required include:

• Income and Expense Statement
• IRS Return Transcript (complete form 4506-T, request online, set up a user name with the IRS and print your transcript, or use the DRT)
• Divorce decree or Legal separation documents

Failure to submit all required verification documents by the priority deadline may cause delays or cancellation of disbursement of federal and state financial assistance. Finance charges accrue daily on past due balances. If financial assistance is delayed or cancelled it is the students/parents responsibility to find other resources to pay all charges prior to the due date in order to avoid finance charges.
