Verification Update

Due to a recent announcement from the Department of Education, students selected for verification for the 2017/18 Academic year can submit a 2015 signed Federal Tax Return (1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) for verification purposes.  You will not be required to submit an IRS Tax Return Transcript for the 2017/18 Academic year.  Additionally, students who were required to submit the IRS Verification of Non-filing letter will no longer be required to submit that document for verification purposes.  This requirement will be waived in the Student Administration system.
