Verification for Federal Financial Aid

Using ProVerifier

If you’re selected for verification, federal regulations require that we check the accuracy of the information provided on your FAFSA before disbursing any federal aid.

New College partners with ProEducation Solutions to offer an automated verification software called ProVerifier. Your account with ProVerifier can be accessed through a tile on the MyNCF App Gateway. For new students, please look for emails  received shortly after admission labeled “Creation of your New College account, Part I and Part 2.” This will give you instructions on how to access the MyNCF App Gateway.

In ProVerifier you will be able to see what documents are required and how to submit them. Upon receipt of all required documents, the automated verification process will begin. You will be notified via email or phone if there are any questions or if additional documents are required.

FAQs

The U.S. Department of Education may, at any time, select students for verification based on information they provided on their FAFSA. Typically, one in three financial aid applicants are selected each year. If you are selected, the school will request documentation to verify the information you provided on the FAFSA.

Check your FAFSA Submission Summary, which is generated by filing your FAFSA.

If you’ve sent us your FAFSA (and you’re a current or incoming student), we send emails to alert you. If you are an incoming student, your aid offer is highlighted “Selected for Verification”. You may also check your outstanding requirements in the Financial Aid section of Self Service Student. You can access Self Service Student via the MyNCF App Gateway.

No — we’re not allowed to disburse federal aid until your documents are reviewed and the verification process is complete.

Please — DON’T WAIT. It takes time to review your documents, and occasionally we have to ask for additional items to clear discrepancies. If you wait to submit your documents, we may not be able to tell you whether you are eligible for aid before you have to pay your New College bill. Please submit all of the documents we request by June 15, 2025.

By signing into your ProVerifier account, you will be able to see what documents are required and how to submit them.

Please fulfill all requirements directly through the My NCF Gateway and the ProVerifier tile. New students, please establish your NCF account and then look for the tile. Current students, please go through the portal and click on the ProVerifier tile.

Important information if your parents filed a tax extension: For academic year 2025-26, the FAFSA is based on 2023 tax information. Filing a tax extension for 2023 gave you until October 15, 2024 to file taxes. We are now past that date so please update your FAFSA information.

If we receive all of the required documents by June 15, 2025, we are usually able to determine eligibility for federal aid within 30 days. However, each student’s process is different and occasionally we must request additional documents to address discrepancies. We’re not allowed to disburse federal aid unless your documents are reviewed and the verification process is complete.

To help us serve all students as efficiently as possible, email us at [email protected], and give us at least one workday to check on your details and respond. Please include a daytime number and best times to reach you, in case we need to answer by phone.

We can be reached by phone at 941-487-5000, ext. 2. We’re also available for appointments (Monday through Friday, 8-5 p.m).

Use of Social Security Numbers

The NCF Office of Admissions and Financial Aid collects and uses Social Security Numbers (SSN’s) as necessary for the performance of the College’s duties and responsibilities, taking appropriate measures to secure SSN’s from unauthorized access.
