FAQ - Verification

1. What is verification, and what do I need to do if I am selected?

Verification is a process that all universities participating in federal aid programs have to complete. If the Central Processing System (CPS) selects you, you must complete verification in order to qualify for financial aid. If you are selected, we will send you an email requesting additional documents. Using these documents, we compare your data to the information on your FAFSA, and make corrections, if needed.

2. What documents do I need for verification?

     
  • Signed copies of all current federal tax returns for student and parents/spouse. 
  • Copies of all current W-2 forms for students and parents/spouse
  • Verification Worksheet available at Online Forms & Services
  • If, after reviewing these documents we need more information, someone from our office will contact you via your UHCL email account.

3. How long will the verification process take?

Once we have collected all your verification documents, they go to your counselor. We can usually review your verification documents within two weeks after receiving them. (During peak times, the process may take slightly longer.) After the verification is completed, we will award you your financial aid.
