Selection Process

FAFSAs are selected for verification either by the U.S. Department of Education’s Central Processing System (CPS) or by the school.

The CPS selects applicants either randomly or by choosing applications that do not meet a series of federal edits. These edits are not published by the Department of Education to the public.

The law also permits the school to select applicants based on the above reasons, as well as, to verify accuracy of data or resolve conflicting data that it believes is incorrect or discrepant. As important, a school may request additional documentation if information does not match FAFSA.

Notification of Selection

The CPS notifies students selected for verification by printing an asterisk (*) next to the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) on the SAR; also, the financial aid office will notify selectees via correspondence of specific items required in order to process a student’s financial aid eligibility. In addition, students are required to monitor their financial status via HUNET account, by using their password and student ID.

For your convenience, the site address is listed below:

Select: HUNet Administrative Services > Enter Secure Site > Financial Aid > Eligibility > Student Requirements > Select Aid Year > Submit

Required forms are also accessible from our financial aid website at:

http://www.hamptonu.edu/studentservices/financialaid/fa_forms.cfm

The student is given 14 days to respond to this request for information. Failure to respond within this time period could have an adverse effect (in some cases) depending on the student’s eligibility for certain types of financial aid awards.

What You Need to Know

In an effort to save you time with the processing of your verification documents, we like to recommend some important Tidbits:

1. Respond timely to request for information;
2. Make certain that documents and appropriate worksheets are properly signed;
3. Electronic signatures authorizations for tax returns are not allowed;
4. Read your SAR thoroughly;
5. If you have filed for an extension with the IRS, you will need to provide us with a copy of Form 4506-T;
6. If an extension is granted by the IRS, you will need to submit IRS Form 4868 or a copy of the IRS approval or extension beyond the automatic six-month extension; this form may be obtained online at www.irs.gov or by phone at 1-800-829-1040.
7. Copies of tax returns or alternative documentation must be submitted within the appropriate deadlines established by the Financial Aid Office;
8. If documentation is not received, students are ineligible for Title-IV funds and are required to repay any disbursed aid; and
9. In some cases, students could be selected for verification after awarding and disbursements. Should this occur, the student is responsible for any overpayment (for certain Title-IV programs) received as a result of verification.

Completing Verification

Once we have received and reviewed for accuracy all the requested items for the verification process, the student will receive notification that his/her award package is available to view and/or accept online. This will include the types and amounts of aid offered and instructions for acceptance.

If a student has not received any correspondence from our office within 14 business days from the receipt date of all requirements satisfied (as displayed on HUNet), please do not hesitate to contact our office at 1-800-624-3341.

We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to change data on the FAFSA, while your documentation is under review, without first contacting our office.

Please direct all questions and inquiries to your assigned Financial Aid Advisor, as posted on the Financial Aid Office website.

The U.S. Department of Education has decided that the 2010-2011 award year will be the last year for the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) and the national SMART Grant programs. With this rulemaking, the Department of Education has opted that there will be no "grandfathering" of prior recipients for either program.

Academically Dismissed/Suspended Students who are reinstated to return to the University MUST attend one semester and complete a minimum of 12 credit hours and earn a minimum semester grade point average of 2.0, while also maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 if they attempted 48 hours or more at Hampton University, before being able to submit a financial aid appeal for aid for the subsequent semester. Thereafter, the student must also complete a minimum of 12 credit hours and earn a minimum semester grade point average of 2.0 each semester, in order to remain eligible for financial aid programs.

NOTE: Part-time students who have been academically suspended and are allowed to return to the University, must attend one semester and complete a minimum of six (6) credit hours and earn a minimum semester grade point average of 2.0 before being reinstated to the financial aid programs. The student must also complete all hours attempted and earn a minimum semester grade point average of 2.0 each semester thereafter, in order to remain eligible in all financial aid programs.

The Perkins Loan is a federal campus-based student loan which may be offered to On-time, Pell grant eligible students based on tthe availability of funds.
