Once your file has been received by Inceptia, you will receive an email from VGCS inviting you to log into the Verification Gateway. If you are attending the 2021-2022 Summer session you will log into the Verification Gateway at https://www.verificationgateway.org/tsufa2022. If you are attending the 2022-2023 Fall/Spring semester you will log into the Verification Gateway at https://www.verificationgateway.org/tsufa2023. Prior to logging into the Verification Gateway you will authenticate your identity and create a username and password. Students who were required to provide parental information on the FAFSA are required to have one parent also authenticate and create an account on the Verification Gateway. This parent will be required to e-sign or provide an ink signature once all documentation has been submitted.
- Confirm your identity (authentication).
- Both parent and student will need to create a secure username and password.
- Decide if you want to receive text messages and approve to e-sign.
- Access your Action List and begin the verification process (the list may consist of some combination of online forms and the request to upload specific documents to Verification Gateway).
- Your parent on the FAFSA will also need to e-sign your account- We cannot complete the verification process without BOTH signatures.
Upon receipt of all required documents, Inceptia will begin the verification process. Students will be notified if there are any questions or if any additional documentation is required via email, text or postcard. Once verification has been completed, the student and our school will be notified.
Please note that the verification process must be completed prior to receiving an award package from TSU. Failure to provide the requested documents could result in the delay or denial of financial aid.
Inceptia will also assist with questions concerning your verification process. If you need assistance or have any questions about the verification process, please contact Inceptia, Monday from 8:00 am – 8:30 pm Central and Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm Central at 888-374-8427 or by email at VGCS@inceptia.org.
It is very important that you log in and review the Verification Gateway during the verification process. On occasion, additional documentation may be requested after receiving the initial documentation from the student. Students will be notified by letter of any additional requirements.
