Verification Process

Our university is federally obligated to verify all financial aid applicants that have been selected by the U.S. Department of Education for a process called verification.

If you are selected for verification, it will be indicated on your FAFSA Submission Summary when you submit your FAFSA. Please log in to Uconnect to view and submit the required documents necessary to complete the process.

TAMIU is required to complete this process prior to awarding aid.

Complete verification forms and documents will be submitted on Verify My FAFSA through the Uconnect portal.

How to create a Verify My FAFSA account

Please note that your FAFSA may require corrections based on the information you provide, which could impact your financial aid award package. Additional steps may be necessary after submitting your FAFSA.

Confirm Your Housing Intent

If the housing arrangement on your financial aid offer differs from where you will be living (on-campus, off-campus, or at home), you must email the Financial Aid Office. Please note that a change in housing arrangements will change your cost of attendance, and your financial aid offer may be adjusted if necessary. Supporting documentation may be requested. Please allow 7-10 business days for the housing change to be processed.

Check Your TAMIU Email

If you have outstanding requirements, we will email your TAMIU email address.

Need Forms?

If a form is required, download it from the Financial Aid Forms website.

Submitting Documents & Paperwork
Outstanding documents must be processed by our office for aid to disburse. We encourage you to submit your financial aid paperwork by priority deadlines to ensure your aid pays before the term’s payment deadline. Documents submitted after the deadline will still be processed, but students should make other payment arrangements to avoid a late payment fee or being dropped for non-payment after census date.
