2012/13 EOP Checklist for Financial Aid
Below are the forms you will need to provide to the EOP Office for the 2012/13 academic year.
_____1. We highly recommend obtaining a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for you and your parents at www.pin.ed.gov. Your PIN allows you to electronically sign the FAFSA, which is significantly faster and more secure than mailing a signature page.
_____2. Proof of filing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be submitted to the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Office by March 1, 2012. Proof of filing your FAFSA may consist of one of the following:
The Financial Aid Office encourages all FAFSA filing to be done electronically at www.fafsa.gov. Please note: We encourage both student and parent to sign electronically by using a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which should be obtained before beginning the FAFSA application.
Please be aware that if a dependency override was done, you may complete your FAFSA online. You will need to check the box on the FAFSA verifying you are unable to provide parental information. You must also complete the Dependency Override Update Form, I12, which you can obtain from the Financial Aid Office or at www.brockport.edu/finaid/forms_center.
_____3. Federal tax returns should be filed at least two weeks prior to filing the FAFSA if at all possible. This will allow you to use the IRS Data Retrieval Process to complete the financial portions of the FAFSA by indicating “yes” when prompted. However, you should use estimated data on the FAFSA and file before the FAFSA deadline, April 1st, if your taxes will not be filed by this time.
_____4. You will be able to complete the Express TAP Application (ETA) online immediately after completing the FAFSA on the web. If you do not file electronically or you forget to complete the application online, Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) will send you an e-mail or postcard notifying you to complete the TAP application online. In order to be eligible for TAP, you must be a NYS resident and enrolled full-time status.
_____5. Other documents may be requested by the Financial Aid Office once the office has received your FAFSA information. Federal Tax Transcripts and W2 forms may be requested if you and/or your parents estimate income information on the FAFSA, or you are selected for verification.
Note: EOP checks will NOT be given to you unless your financial aid file is completed.
