Where can I find financial aid requirement forms?

Financial aid requirement forms can be found on your Commons account by clicking Financial Aid under the Pay For College tab. On the right-hand side, you will see a link that says Financial Aid Forms. This link will take you directly to all verification forms requested by the Department of Education.

How do I complete additional financial aid requirements?

About one-third of students are randomly selected to provide additional verification requirements before receiving an award offer. These requirements should be completed as soon as possible to ensure you will receive your award offer before payment is due. Check your student email for notifications from the financial aid office about any outstanding requirements. You can submit documents in any of the following ways:

• In-Person
  • Student Central, room 113
    Business Education Center
    620 W Clairemont Ave
    Eau Claire, WI 54701
    
    
• Secure Fax
  • 715-833-6293
    
    
• Secure File Transfer (Dropbox)
  • Commons > Pay For College > Financial Aid > Financial Aid Forms > Financial Aid Secure Dropbox
    
    
• Mail
  • Financial Aid Office, room 116
    Business Education Center
    620 W Clairemont Ave
    Eau Claire, WI 54701

Why do I need to provide my taxes? How can I order my tax transcript?

After applying for FAFSA, the Department of Education processes your application and determines what further verification is required to determine your award. If your taxes are needed, you can provide a copy of your signed 1040 form or a tax return transcript. To obtain a copy of your tax return transcript, please complete the following steps:

• Visit www.irs.gov.
• Click Get My Tax Record.
• Request the transcript either by mail or online (you can create an ID.me account or sign in with an existing account if you have one)

If you encounter any issues while requesting your transcript, please stop by Student Central in room 113 of the Business Education Center, or call Student Central at 715-833-6200.

How can I order a letter of non-filing?

Letters of non-filing can be ordered at www.irs.gov similar to ordering a tax transcript. You can do this by doing the following:

• Visit www.irs.gov.
• Click Get My Tax Record.
• Request the form either online or by mail (please note the requirements to request it online).
• Request the transcript either by mail or online (you can create an ID.me account or sign in with an existing account if you have one)
• If you have trouble requesting the form this way, you can also complete the 4506-T form. This form can be found under the Forms and Instructions link on the IRS homepage.

If you encounter any issues while requesting your letter of non-filing, please stop by Student Central in room 113 of the Business Education Center, or call Student Central at 715-833-6200.
