2024-2025 VERIFICATION FORMS
If your FAFSA was selected for verification, the One Stop for Student Services will notify you through email and/or your FlashLine account. We will let you know what forms must be submitted to our office. You need to submit a form only if it was requested by the One Stop for Student Services. The forms are provided online for your convenience.
If your document needs to be returned in person, please check the library hours or with your Regional Campus student services area for hours of availability. You can also return forms in a PDF format by mail. Please see your form for details on if it needs to be returned in person.
