Federal Verification Process |
|
| |
|
Approximately one-third of all financial aid applicants are selected by either the U.S. Department of Education or Northeastern’s Office of Student Financial Services to verify the accuracy of information provided on the FAFSA and CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE. If you are a new student, your offer of assistance is tentative, pending the completion of the verification process. If you are a returning student, you will not receive a financial aid award letter until the verification process is complete.
Should the verified financial information differ significantly from the original information provided on the FAFSA and CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE forms, your aid may have to be adjusted. Please be sure to respond to requests for follow-up documentation in a timely manner to avoid delays in applying your financial aid as a credit to your student account.
You will be required to complete the verification worksheet and provide a copy of your and your parents’ federal income tax returns. Upon receipt of the required materials, we will finalize the review of your application for financial aid. If documentation is not received by the established deadline, your offer of assistance could be canceled.
These forms are available for students who have been chosen for verification.

Verification Form Submission |
|
| |
|
Northeastern prefers that all Verification documents be sent to the College Board's Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC). A cover sheet is required for all documents submissions to the College Board. If you have received a request for verification documents, you must log into the CollegeBoard/IDOC website and print a copy of your cover sheet before mailing any documents. |

Discrepant Data |
|
| |
|
The SFS Office is required by the Federal government to resolve all discrepant data presented on the FAFSA and/or CSS Profile. If it is determined that there is discrepant data on your financial aid applications, additional documents may be requested to resolve the discrepancy. If necessary, we will review your aid eligibility using the correct data. In some cases revisions to original offers will be made and a revised Offer of Financial Assistance will be sent to you. |
