Financial Aid Forms

Required forms and documents needed are listed in your MyService under Required Financial Aid Documents.

Please note that incoming information becomes the property of College of The Albemarle (COA) and may not be released to third parties, including the applicant.

Verification

COA attempts to verify all applicants selected for verification by the Central Processing Center. Students selected for verification will be mailed a letter detailing what documentation is required to complete verification of their FAFSA information. Any required forms will be available in their MyService. It is very important to respond promptly to all requests for verification information from the Financial Aid Office. Delays in response or submission of incomplete verification documentation will delay the student’s financial aid offer.

In an effort to adhere to federal privacy laws, the COA Financial Aid Office restricts the release of certain private student information. All communications regarding your financial aid will be sent to your COA email or posted in your MyService. Students can contact us personally to check the status of their financial aid application and awards. Due to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), often we will be unable to release information to third parties (i.e., parents, spouses, etc.) without a signed release form on file from the student.
