FAFSA Verification

In this Section

What is Verification?

The Financial Aid Office may need to request certain types of documentation from you for a process called verification.

Every year, approximately 30 percent of our applicants are selected by the US Department of Education for its verification process. Our office will communicate with students primarily through email and updates in eWOLF if documentation is needed. Please check both regularly to see any requests for documentation. 

All documentation is kept strictly confidential and only financial aid personnel have access to this information once it has been submitted. When there is any information that our office needs to complete the review of your file, we will notify you through your Colorado Community College System (CCCS) email account or through eWOLF.

Visit our Financial Aid Forms page for a list of financial aid documentation.

Helpful Verification Tips

  • Don't delay! FRCC cannot release your financial aid offer until verification is complete. Acting quickly helps you avoid missing out on limited aid or being dropped from classes for unpaid tuition.
  • Check eWOLF often. Visit eWOLF regularly so you can stay on top of any updates. Click on the Financial Aid card to review your student requirements.
  • Watch your deadlines. Missing documents can slow down your financial aid. Submit everything as soon as you can.

Please note: Incomplete documents will result in an incomplete file. It is strongly recommended that students keep copies of all forms submitted to the Financial Aid Office as well as follow up on the processing of these documents.
