Verification

 

What is verification?

Verification is a review process that confirms the accuracy of all student, parent, and spouse data reported on the FAFSA. Selection of students to verify is provided by the U.S. Department of Education and is completed by the Alamo Colleges, in partnership with our verification provider, ProVerifier+ (ProEd).

Selected students are required to submit documentation such as Federal Tax Transcripts, W2s, and a verification forms in order complete the verification process and to determine their financial aid eligibility. 

 

How are selected students notified?

If you were selected, you will get a notification in your student email with instructions from ProEd on how to log into their verification dashboard, ProVerify Student Portal. You will also see your verification requirement listed within your ACES account. 

 

  • 1. Check your Alamo email: You will receive emailed instructions directly from ProEd on how to complete the verification process.

    2. Log in to ProEd's portal regularly: Follow the steps provided in the email to log in to the ProVerify Student Portal, or you can find the link to the portal in ACES on the 'MyPage' tab.

    3. Submit all documents promptly: Once in the portal, submit any requested verification worksheets and tax documentation as soon as possible. The faster you submit your verification documentation, the faster we are able to disburse your aid.

    4. Check your Alamo email for updates and additional requests: You may receive additional communication from ProEd, or our Student Financial Aid Office, asking for additional documentation or corrections to be made in order to finish your verification.

    5. Look out for any updates to your financial aid awards: Once your verification has been completed by ProEd, any available financial aid that you qualify for will be added to your ACES account.  Finding your financial aid awards on ACES tutorial

 

What happens during the verification process?

After submitting all required verification documentation, it may be required for corrections to be made to the FAFSA. Your corrected FAFSA will be sent to the U.S. Department of Education in order for your verification selection to be cleared and your FAFSA approved.

Once complete, you will receive a notification to your Alamo email regarding any updates to your financial aid awards.
