VERIFICATION
If you are selected for verification, the Federal government requires St. Thomas Aquinas College to confirm the information you reported on your FAFSA. This is done by comparing your FAFSA with the information on the Verification worksheet, the information on your tax return and with other required documentation. If there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected. You will be advised by Inceptia if you have been selected.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

St. Thomas Aquinas College’s Office of Financial Aid is pleased to announce we have established a partnership with Inceptia to expedite the federal verification process. Verification Gateway (VG) from Inceptia is an online portal to guide students and parents through the verification process. If your FAFSA application is selected for verification by the U.S Department of Education, you will receive an email from VGCS@inceptia.org, or postcard from Inceptia, containing STAC’s unique website link to start the verification process.
We encourage you to begin the verification process within 7 days of receiving notification from Verification Gateway to ensure you receive your financial aid in time for payments. Failure to complete the verification process could result in the delay or denial of your financial aid.
