FAFSA Verification

When a student files the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the U.S. Department of Education will send results of the FAFSA called the FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) by email.  On the FSS will be a comment which indicates if the student has been selected for the verification process.  The U.S. Department of Education does not select all students for verification. The Financial Aid Office will also receive notification from the U.S. Department of Education and will correspond with the student as well.

The verification process requires the college to collect additional documents from the student and their family to verify information provided on the FAFSA. You can locate the necessary items and forms along with instructions in MyOTC Student Forms.

It is the student’s responsibility to make sure the Financial Aid Office receives the items requested in a timely manner.
