You are Not Currently Eligible for Financial Aid for 2018-2019
Dear $SUBSCRIBER.FIRSTNAME,
You have been selected by the federal government for a process called Verification.
Please note: You will not be offered financial aid until the Verification process is complete.
If you do not complete the Verification process, you are responsible for making your first payment regardless of your financial aid. The University cancels the registration of students who have not made sufficient payment by the first payment due date of the semester. In order to avoid cancellation of your fall 2018 classes, please allow sufficient time to meet the August 10 payment due date.
Click here for directions to access the list of required documents via CougarNet. Typical items required for Verification can include the 2018-2019 Institutional Verification Form, 2016 W-2's from employment, as well as a 2016 Tax Return Transcript, obtainable from the IRS or a signed copy of the 2016 federal tax return.
You may choose one of the methods below to request your 2016 federal tax return transcript.
- Print a copy from irs.gov
- Request a copy online from irs.gov
- Call the IRS at 800-908-9946
Attention: Due to the outage of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, the Department of Education is now allowing students and families who did not elect to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to submit signed copies of their 2016 federal tax returns for verification. Tax preparer's signatures are not acceptable. Taxes must be signed by the filer.
Don't delay, submit your forms today!
If you have additional questions, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at 618-650-3880 or finaid@siue.edu.
