Verification and Missing Information

Once you have submitted the FAFSA, your Student Aid Report (SAR) will indicate if additional supporting documents may be required for verification, and these documents will vary for each student.

Even if the student is not selected for verification, additional information may be requested to complete the student's file. All students applying for financial aid will be asked to complete the Expected Enrollment Questionnaire.

All requests for additional documents or information will be sent to the student's TTUHSC email account. To view and complete any additional documents or information, please follow these instructions.

Scroll to the Manage My Finances section and select "Documentation Requested and Submitted".
Select "Student Requirements".
Select the appropriate aid year from the drop down menu and click "Submit".
Complete items listed in a "required" status.

**Please include the student's student ID (R#) at the top of all documents you submit to our office. The forms and data should all be legible and must be received by the specified deadline. If citizenship documentation is required, be sure to read the instructions provided through WebRaider. Failure to submit all required information and documents could result in a delay of financial funding.

Professional Judgment

The FAFSA is based on income information from two years prior. For example, 2020 income is the basis for the 2022-2023 FAFSA. We understand the past few years have been difficult and challenging for many of our students and their families. The income listed on your FAFSA may have changed, or your family has different circumstances since two years prior to completing the FAFSA. As a result, your FAFSA data today for the current academic year may not accurately reflect your current circumstances.

If your income or family situation has changed, we might be able to assist you through the Special Circumstances/Professional Judgment process. Learn more by visiting our Professional Judgment/Special Circumstances webpage.
