Verification Instructions

Every year, the federal government selects a portion of FAFSA applicants and requires them to complete this verification process.

  • If they select you, we will notify you by email.
  • If they don't select you, please do NOT submit these documents.
  • If you have questions, please see the FAQs at the bottom of this page or contact us.

These verification instructions are different for each academic year.

2024-2025 Instructions

We have partnered with Inceptia to support our verification process. If you were selected for the 2024-2025 FAFSA data verification process, we will post a checklist on your TU Online Services To-Do-List with a link to Inceptia's Towson Verification Gateway service. You will also receive an email from VGCS@inceptia.org with the same link.

To complete the verification process, you must visit that link, create an account, complete your tasks, confirm your signature, and sign your account. If you are a dependent student, you parent must also create their own account and complete all these steps. If you have any verification process questions, please contact Inceptia, Monday through Friday 8 am – 7 pm Central time at 833.932.1877 or VGCS@inceptia.org.

If your Towson To-Do-List doesn't include any verification checklists, then you weren't selected for this process.
