Important Wesleyan Financial Aid Policies

The Verification Process
Each year the United States Department of Education selects approximately one-third of all financial aid applications for a process called "Verification". If selected, the Financial Aid Office will send you a verification worksheet requesting documentation such as:

  • Federal Income Tax Returns
  • Social Security statements
  • Statements regarding untaxed income

This is necessary to verify the accuracy of information submitted on the FAFSA. Students must submit all necessary documents to the Financial Aid Office within 30 days per our written request. Failure to do this will result in cancellation of need-based financial aid until verification is complete. The Financial Aid Office will notify a student if, as a result of verification, the student's expected family contribution (EFC) changes and creates a change in the student's financial aid eligibility.

Special Circumstances Financial Aid Process
Special Circumstances are changes in financial status occurring after the FAFSA has been filed. Examples of this include parental unemployment, death, divorce, or substantial non-reimbursed medical expenses. In all cases the student should contact the Financial Aid Office. Financial documentation will be necessary. Click here to print the Special Circumstances Form.
