Financial Aid Missing Information 
 
Missing Information Notice: 
FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) filers are selected by the federal government for a process called verification.  Students who are selected for verification must submit copies of the information they used to file the FAFSA to SUNY Orange.  This includes documentation of filing an income tax return, certain other financial documents, and a verification worksheet used to verify household size and number in college. 
In addition, some students need to provide other documentation before we can determine their eligibility for financial aid. 
At least two weeks after filing electronically, or six weeks after filing by paper, students selected for verification must do one of the following:
