Check your Self Service and TCL Email

All financial aid information including, 但不限于, 你的FAFSA状态, 优秀的需求, and your financial aid award letter can be found in your Self Service account under the 金融援助 module.

If You Are Selected For Verification
TCL is required to verify certain information provided by a student or parent (if dependent) on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Applications requiring review are flagged by the US Department of 教育 and the student will be selected for verification.
Students will be notified via their TCL student email concerning verification requirements. Information on how to resolve these requirements will be listed in the student’s Self Service account under the 金融援助 module. The type of documents required for submission will vary from student to student. Please note that using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to populate your FAFSA tax information will make the verification process more efficient because the tax information will be verified by the IRS Data Retrieval.
Upon completion of verification an award change could occur. Your expected family contribution (EFC) could increase, decrease or remain the same. A change in EFC could have an effect on federal/state grant eligibility and student loans.
We encourage students and/or their families to submit all documents to the 金融援助 Office as soon as possible for quickest processing. Please allow 3 to 5 business days for all submitted documents to be reviewed. Processing times may increase during peak times.
