VERIFICATION PROCESS 

When the federal government "selects" your Free Application for Student Federal Aid (FAFSA) for verification, the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships (OFAS) is required to collect the source documents you used to complete your FAFSA.   This process is called the "verification process."  

 

 

OFAS will send you an SCSU email indicating that you have been "selected" for verification and you will need to submit several required documents.   These documents are as follows:

  • 2012-2013 Verification Worksheet (dependent or independent)
  • Your 2011 federal tax transcript from the IRS office.
  • Your parents 2011 federal tax transcript from the IRS office (dependent students only).
  • Additional documentation may be required in certain verification cases.

Each of these required documents for verification must be submitted to OFAS in order to determine your financial aid eligibility by July 1, 2012.  Students who submit the requested documents after July 1, 2012 will have to pay their bill up front or enroll in a payment plan.
