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.

Login to WebRaider and select the MyTech - El Paso tab.

1. Scroll to the Manage My Finances section and select "Documentation Requested and Submitted".
2. Select "Student Requirements".
3. Select the appropriate aid year from the drop down menu and click "Submit".
4. 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.
