FAFSA Verification

FAFSA applicants can be selected for verification by the US Department of Education. Additionally, if the Financial Aid Office identifies incomplete or inconsistent information, we are required by federal regulations to collect additional documentation.

In the verification process, we ask you for supporting documents to compare to your FAFSA application. If you are selected for verification, you may be asked to supply the following documents (do not turn these in unless you are asked to):

  • Verification Worksheet (to verify household size, number in college and income from
    work not reported to the IRS)
  • Dependent Students Only: Parent’s IRS Tax Return Transcript (signed)* or use of the IRS Direct Datas Exchange.
  • Independent Students: Student’s (and spouse’s when applicable) IRS Tax Return Transcript (signed)* or use of the IRS Direct Data Exchange.
  • Other documents to verify items reported on the FAFSA (such as W2 Forms)

*See instructions for requesting an IRS Tax Return Transcript.

All documents may be mailed to:
Mountwest Community & Technical College
One Mountwest Way, Suite 101U
Huntington, WV 25701
Or faxed to 304.710.3533
Or scanned and emailed to: ofa@mctc.edu

When scanning and emailing documents, please password protect your document attachments. Send us the password in a separate email. This will ensure that your documents are securely transmitted.

Verification Documents must be received by the following dates:

For Fall AwardsJune 30
For Spring AwardsNovember 30
For Summer AwardsApril 30

Students who do not meet the deadline dates should expect to pay for all expenses (tuition, fees, books) from their own resources.

The final deadline for submittal of all verification documents is 30 days prior to the end of the academic year/period you are enrolled. This designated deadline allows the Financial Aid Office to process and authorize disbursements within the timeframe permitted under regulations set forth for administering the federal and state financial aid programs. Failure to provide requested documentation within this timeframe will result in cancellation of your financial aid offers.

The deadline for students to submit documentation may be extended up to 60 days after the student’s last day of enrollment during the academic year/period on a case-by-case basis, and will be processed to the extent that is administratively possible.

Your responsibilities are to:

  • Promptly submit all documents requested
  • Ensure that all documents are signed and complete and include your name and MCTC ID number
  • Keep copies of all information used to file the FAFSA and of documents submitted to Financial Aid
