2020–2021 DEPENDENT VERIFICATION WORKSHEET
Your 2020–2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for review in a process called verification. The law says that before
awarding Federal Student Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you and your parents reported on your FAFSA. To verify that you provided
correct information the financial aid administrator at your school will compare your FAFSA with the information on this worksheet and with any other
required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected. You and at least one parent must complete and sign this
worksheet, attach any required documents, and submit the form and other required documents to the financial aid administrator at your school. Your
school may ask for additional information. If you have questions about verification, contact your financial aid administrator as soon as possible so that
your financial aid will not be delayed.
A. Dependent Student’s Information
Student’s ID Number
Student’s Date of Birth
Student’s Home Phone Number (include area code) Student’s Alternate or Cell Phone Number
B. High School Completion Status
Provide one of the following documents that indicate your high school completion status when the student begins college in
2020– 2021:
A copy of the student’s high school diploma showing when graduated.
For students who completed secondary education in a foreign country, a copy of the “secondary school leaving certificate” or
other similar document.
A copy of the student’s final official high school transcript that shows the date when the diploma was awarded.
A state certificate or transcript received by a student after the student passed a State-authorized examination that the State
recognizes as the equivalent of a high school diploma (GED test, HiSET, TASC, or other State-authorized examination).
An academic transcript that indicates the student successfully completed at least a two-year program that is acceptable for full
credit toward a bachelor’s degree.
For a student who was homeschooled in a state where state law requires the student to obtain a secondary school completion
credential for homeschooling (other than a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent), a copy of that credential.
For a student who was homeschooled in a state where state law does not require the student to obtain a secondary school
completion credential for homeschooling (other than a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent), a transcript, or the
equivalent, signed by the student's parent or guardian, that lists the secondary school courses the student completed and includes
a statement that the student successfully completed a secondary school education in a homeschool setting.
Check the box that applies:
The student has submitted a final official transcript or equivalent to the Admissions Office. The financial aid administrator
will use this information for the verification process.
The student has not yet submitted a final official transcript or equivalent. The student’s admissions file or the verification
process cannot be completed until a final official transcript or equivalent has been received.
A student who is unable to obtain the documentation listed above must contact the financial aid office. If we have already
received one of the documents above as part of the admission process, you do not need to turn in another copy.
Student’s Street Address (include apt. no.)
