Verification

Federal Verification is a review process used to determine the accuracy of information provided on a student’s financial aid application. If a student is selected for verification they will be required to provide documentation supporting the data provided in the FAFSA. The Department of Education notifies the student and RRCC who is selected for verification. RRCC will in turn notify the student what forms of documentation are needed.

A completed Federal Verification Worksheet will be needed from each student selected for verification. Additional documentation may include:

• Signed copies of the most recent Federal Income tax returns with W-2s for student, spouse and parents.
• Proof of Citizenship.
• Proof of Selective Service registration.
• Copies of Social Security cards and/or benefits statements.
• Additional worksheets/information as required by the financial aid office.

If any conflicting information is found during the verification process the financial aid office may require additional clarification from the student and/or parent. If corrections are required additional time to process a student’s financial aid award will be needed.  In order for students to receive their financial aid awards as soon as possible it is important that they file their applications prior to the priority dates listed and that accurate contact information is maintained with Red Rocks Community College. Information regarding the status and information needed can be found by accessing your account on the web.

The Financial Aid Office will not be able to award any student who has not submitted required documentation. Students can access the most common forms for documentation by following this link.
