The federal government selects FAFSAs to be verified by the financial aid department. Our school may also select FAFSAs to be verified. During verification, a financial aid counselor must confirm that certain data elements on the FAFSA are correct before a student may receive any financial aid. In order to have payment arrangements made by the tuition due date, please turn in all requested verification items by the deadlines below:
Failure to submit documentation by the final verification deadline may result in loss of financial aid eligibility. Our office is not required to complete verification after the final deadline has passed. Students may appeal to the Director of Financial Aid for an extension to the deadline.
Tax return information is required as part of the verification process. When sending tax information (returns or transcripts), the preferred method is to upload the documents by going to your BannerWEB portal, clicking on the “Financial Aid” tab and then clicking on “Document Upload -- Financial Aid”; documents must be in pdf format. Otherwise, please mail, fax, or send through an encrypted or password protected email. The password should be sent in a separate email. Emails that are not password protected will not be accepted and the individual will be asked to send the tax information again through one of the acceptable methods. When faxing or emailing tax documentation to us, for your security, please block out all SSNs, leaving only the last 4 digits for identificiation purposes. If your 2020-2021 FAFSA has been selected for verification, we must confirm 2018 income tax information reported on the FAFSA. See the Verification Worksheet for more detailed information.

Luckily, I did have the name of my destination -- CERN, the international European particle physics laboratory -- and a brief note explaining my situation to the French guards," writes John Rabaey, BS '22.
