Step 4: Submit Additional Documentation, If Required
If your FAFSA is federally selected for verification, you will be required to submit additional documentation to the Financial Aid Office. Verification is a review process where the Financial Aid Office ensures the accuracy of information reported on the FAFSA. Students are selected for verification by the Department of Education at the time they complete the FAFSA. Documents required for verification may include: Income Verification Form, Household Verification Form, tax transcripts or copies of 1040 tax forms and schedules, W-2 forms, verification of non-filing, and identity verification. Other documents may be requested as needed to resolve conflicting information found during verification.
Students who are selected for verification will be notified of the documents required through their “To Do” list in WarriorLink. All required documents should be turned in by the priority processing date to complete your file. Financial aid funds will not be awarded until verification is completed.

Other Documentation FormsStep 5: Award Notification
Students are notified by email (sent to their email account marked as preferred in WarriorLink) with a financial aid offer when their application is processed. The initial aid offer assumes that students will enroll in 12+ credits each term, which is considered full-time. Revised offers are sent with each update to an award. Updates may occur when additional funds are received or awarded, or dollar amounts on existing awards are adjusted. Students are encouraged to review all changes and take the appropriate action for the awards offered.
Your financial aid award will first be applied to any outstanding tuition and fees. Any remaining funds will be refunded to you through BankMobile after the start of the quarter.
Students may still be eligible for aid at lower enrollment levels. If eligible below half-time, federal and state grant aid is prorated based on the chart below:
Enrollment |
Credit Load |
Eligibility |
9-11 credits | ¾ Time | 75% of the full-time grant award |
6-8 credits | ½ Time | 50% of the full-time grant award |
3-5 credits | Less than ½ Time | 25% of the full-time grant award |
1-2 credits | No financial aid eligibility |
Students who plan to enroll less than full-time (12 credits) will need to complete an Enrollment Change Form to confirm their enrollment level and request to have their aid adjusted to their planned enrollment level before disbursement of funds.
As a reminder, the disbursement date that displays in your financial aid account is the earliest date your financial aid award can be applied to any charges on your account (your tuition and fee charges). This usually happens one or two days before the quarter starts. WWCC then subtracts your charges from your award, and the difference will be your refund. Refunds are issued after the quarter begins to account for any schedule changes that may affect charges.
