Once a student files the FAFSA, they may be randomly selected by the U.S. Department of Education, for review in a process called Verification. 老司机福利社 is required by federal regulations to verify the accuracy of the information reported on the student's application.
If you were selected for federal verification at your previous college and completed the process, you will still need to complete 老司机福利社's verification procedures as well.
In order to comply with regulations, we may need to collect additional documentation and/or have the student transfer data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) into the FAFSA.
Our office sends weekly emails to students notifying them of their outstanding requirements. Students can view their requirements through the go老司机福利社 portal.
Learn more about how to complete verification requirements at stockton.edu/verification.
After we receive all required documents and information, you will receive a confirmation email confirming that you have submitted all required documents. Then, we will review your account. After reviewing the information, we may determine that we need to collect additional documentation or information. If we need anything additional, we will send you an email. Check your go老司机福利社 email regularly for updates.
State Verification
Just like the U.S. Department of Education randomly selects students for Federal Verification, the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) randomly selected State residents for State Verification. Unlike federal verification, where the Office of Financial Aid collects and audits additional information on behalf of the federal government, state verification is completed by HESAA.

We understand that you may need additional time to pay the full amount of your bill. The Bursar's Office at 老司机福利社 offers students several payment plan options to help accommodate these needs.
Students may enroll in an interest-free payment plan and make installment payments rather than paying the total amount due in one payment. There is a non-refundable enrollment fee to enroll in a payment plan.
The payment plan payment amount is determined by dividing the total amount due (including the enrollment fee) by the number of payment plan payments.

To help fill the gap with additional funds to cover your educational costs, in addition to any Federal Direct Loans offered to you as a result of filing the FAFSA, we have provided you the opportunity to explore the different types of education loans to see which option(s) may work best to fit your needs.
Parent Direct PLUS Loan:
Parents of dependent undergraduate students are eligible to borrow a Parent Direct PLUS Loan up to the cost of their child's attendance minus other financial assistance. The loan is credit based and interest is a fixed rate.
Private/Alternative Education Loans:
Private/Alternative Education Loans are non-federal government loans offered by private lending institutions as an additional source of funding for higher education.

Financial Aid Appeals:
We realize that there may be cases where your financial situation may have changed substantially and is now very different from the information you reported on the FAFSA. In other cases, a unique circumstance may also exist financially or relating to the dependency of a student. Below are the different types of financial appeals our office will review. If you meet any of the criteria for one of these appeals, follow the directions to submit your appeal to our office.
The FAFSA uses your family鈥檚 annual income from two years ago to project how much your family can afford to contribute toward your expenses while you attend college. This projection assumes that family income is relatively stable over the course of time. Federal law allows authorized officials in our office to make certain adjustments to your income data so that it accurately reflects your family鈥檚 situation. Learn about eligibility and how to submit an income adjustment appeal below.

Federal student aid programs are based on the concept that it is primarily your and your family鈥檚 responsibility to pay for your education. Dependent students are required to report parental information on the FAFSA; however, some student situations will require extra discretion in determining their ability to provide this information. Our office provides the opportunity for students to appeal their FAFSA Dependency Status by submitting documentation of their situation. Complete our dependency status review form below, so that we can determine if you may be eligible for a dependency status review.
