Financial Aid Electronic Forms

Students must complete and submit all required forms electronically (if available) for easier tracking and faster processing of their Financial Aid. Please do not submit any of the Financial Aid forms via fax or email.

WHY WAS I SELECTED FOR VERIFICATION AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Verification is a process required by the US Department of Education to confirm the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). When you are selected for verification, Broward College requires certain documents to compare your FAFSA data with your financial and family information. If differences arise your financial aid awards will be delayed until all discrepancies are resolved.

Please view FATV for more information on verification.

Please Note: You should refer to your myBC (Financial Aid Status) to determine if you were selected for verification and which document(s) you are required to submit.

DOCUMENTS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES

NOTE: The IRS Tax Transcript is now available for use. However, if you are selected for Verification and are unable to obtain a Tax Transcript, and have proof that you cannot obtain a tax transcript, Broward College will accept the IRS Paper 1040 Tax Return copy. Please note that to accept the copy the form must be signed. If unsigned, the filer (or at least one of the filers of a joint return) must sign it or the tax preparer must give a name and SSN, EIN, or PTIN.

 

Federal Student Aid regulations allow for unforeseen changes in students' and parents' income and/or assets after the FAFSA is filed. Some of those special circumstances include job loss, income reduction, asset value reduction, illness, etc. Students may complete one or more of these forms based on their circumstances and may request to have their financial aid file reviewed. You should speak to a Financial Aid Advisor before submitting any of these forms.

Note: Completion of these forms does not always equal an outcome that changes your aid award amount or your eligibility to receive aid.

The Department of Education looks at enrollment patterns over the previous four award years for students applying for financial aid. If your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for Unusual Enrollment History (UEH), it is because you have received Federal Pell Grant and/or Federal Direct Loan funds from multiple institutions during the four-year review period.

Students with a UEH red flag will need to submit one of the forms below to the financial aid office for review and to determine if further documentation is needed before they can receive federal financial aid.
