When you submit the FAFSA on the Web, you may be randomly selected by the Federal processor for a process called “verification.” This means the Department of Education requires our office to determine the accuracy of the information provided on your FAFSA on the Web application. If you receive this notification, please complete the following steps in compliance with Federal guidelines.

NOTE: The following steps must be completed before each term priority deadline to be considered for priority awarding. Review deadlines on NCMC’s FAFSA Information/Application.

VERIFICATION STEPS:

  • Submit the appropriate Federal Verification Worksheet through myCOMPASS (if an e-form) or to the Office of Financial Aid (if a paper form).
  • Submit all documents listed below and/or requested by the Office of Financial Aid by the appropriate deadline for priority awarding. Please allow 15-30 days for processing. Once the verification process is complete, an official Financial Aid Offer will be issued. Students can also always review financial aid eligibility in myCOMPASS.
