Many of the documents that the Financial Aid & Scholarships office requests contain highly sensitive information like your name, address, Social Security numbers, how much money you earn, and where you bank. If that data falls into the wrong hands, you could end up being a victim of identity theft. It is important to protect your information by sending any sensitive information on documents in the most secure and reliable way possible.
Please note, all subsequent verification documentation submitted to the Financial Aid & Scholarships office must be signed by the student, and if parental data is included, a parent’s signature is required. Electronic signatures are not accepted at this time. Documentation submitted without required signatures will not be processed.

2018-2019 Forms (Fall 2018 - Summer 2019)
Important Update: Effective January 9, 2019, the Department of Education issued guidance allowing colleges and universities to accept a signed tax return in lieu of tax return transcripts issued by the IRS. CSUCI Financial Aid & Scholarships Office encourages parents and students to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) when completing the FAFSA application. However, if you are unable to use the IRS DRT and your 2018-2019 FAFSA is selected for verification, we will accept signed 2016 tax returns.
