School verification of a student's FAFSA application has changed. Instead of verifying all information on the FAFSA, specific items on the FAFSA are being selected. If we are required to verify any of your information, we will mail you out a "Tracking Letter" letting you know what information we need. The tracking letter provides space for you to provide us with the needed information. You can answer the questions on the tracking letter and mail the letter back to us with the required signatures. If you have lost the letter, you can contact our office at (507) 457-5090, and we can direct you to which forms you can print, complete, and mail or fax back to us.

If you need help using the IRS Data Retrieval tool on the FAFSA, click on the picture below for a YouTube video which shows you how.
