Special Note Regarding 2013-14 Forms

There are many changes to the verification process for the 2013-2014 academic year. The College is still hard at work updating the verification forms for the 2013-2014 year and making the final changes.

If your FAFSA was selected for verification, you will not be able to access the verification forms at this time. While we are finishing our part, please make sure that you have completed the following steps to make the process as easy as possible:

If you have not already done so, please use the IRS data retrieval process within the FAFSA. Using the IRS data retrieval process is the best (and easiest) way to ensure the accuracy of the information on your FAFSA.

If you were unable to use the IRS data retrieval tool (or chose not to), please obtain a copy of your (and your parents or your spouse's as applicable) 2012 federal income tax transcript and wage transcript from the IRS. You will need to submit the tax transcripts to the College with your verification form when it is available.

We appreciate your patience as we work to complete the verification forms.
