The federal financial aid verification process is a mandatory review, often random, used by the Department of Education to confirm the accuracy of data submitted on the FAFSA form. If selected, students must submit requested documents—such as tax transcripts or verification worksheets—to the MGCCC financial aid office to avoid losing aid.

If you are chosen to complete verification, you will need to log into your Web Services account, found in your MyGulfCoast and select Student > Financial Aid > Financial Aid Dashboard > Verify My FAFSA. Here you will create an account to complete the Financial Aid verification process. This is a one-time account creation. Follow the directions, complete the forms and submit the necessary documentation.
