The federal government requires all Title IV colleges and universities to go through a review process known as verification. This process confirms all information submitted on the FAFSA for accuracy and completeness and confirms the student’s maximum financial aid eligibility.
While Income Verification has been halted for the 2021-2022 academic year, you will be required to submit the following documents before your any Income Adjustment request can be evaluated:
For Dependent Students
- 21-22 DEPENDENT* Verification Worksheet (for enrollment in Fall 2021, Spring 2022, Summer 2022)
- All student W-2 forms (if you did not file a tax return).
- All parent W-2 forms (if your parent(s) did not file a tax return).
- Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool on the FAFSA, submit a 2019 IRS Tax Return Transcript, OR a signed 2019 Tax Return for the student.

For Independent Students
- 21-22 INDEPENDENT* Verification Worksheet (for enrollment in Fall 2021, Spring 2022, Summer 2022)
