With regard to attaining Satisfactory Academic Progress, please note that repeat coursework is counted toward the cumulative hours attempted the first time the course(s) are taken. Therefore, if a course is dropped and then repeated, the hours earned the second time DO NOT count towards the minimum hours required in order to attain satisfactory academic progress.

For additional information, please click the following link: Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

The best way to verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) which is part of the FAFSA on the Web www.FAFSA.gov when completing your FAFSA. In most cases, if selected for verification upon using the tool, no further documentation is needed to verify your 2012 IRS income tax return information outside of the verification worksheet as long as the tax return information transferred into the FAFSA using the IRS DRT was not changed.

In most cases, for electronic filers, 2012 IRS income tax return information for the IRS DRT is available within 2-3 weeks after the electronic IRS income tax return has been accepted by the IRS. Generally, for paper filers, the information is available within 8-11 weeks after the paper income tax return has been received by the IRS.

If selected, a student may be required to provide one of the following documents that indicate the student's high school completion status when the student begins college in the 2013-2014 academic year:

A copy of the student's high school diploma
A copy of the student's final official high school transcript that shows the date when the diploma was awarded
A copy of the student's General Educational Development (GED) certificate or GED transcript
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
If State law requires a homeschooled student to obtain a secondary school completion credential for home school (other than a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent), a copy of that credential
If State law does not require a homeschooled student to obtain a secondary school completion credential for home school (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 documents the successful completion of a secondary school education in a home school setting

THE VERIFICATION PROCESS (select)

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 sending email correspondence to the email address provided on the FAFSA. 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:
