We are pleased to announce that we have established a partnership with Inceptia to expedite the federal verification process for Chattahoochee Technical College. Verification Gateway (VG) from Inceptia is an online portal to guide students and parents through verification.
If your FAFSA application is selected for verification by the U.S Department of Education, you will receive an email from VGCS@inceptia.org, or a postcard from Inceptia, containing Chattahoochee Technical College’s unique website link to start the verification process.
A student’s application for federal financial aid may be selected for a process called Verification. Verification is a process used to verify certain information on the FAFSA to ensure its accuracy.

*If you are a dependent student, your parent also needs to create their own account and complete each of these steps.
Back to Financial Aid Verification FAQ list
After all required documents are submitted, the Financial Aid Office will compare them to your application. If errors are found, corrections will be made.
Back to Financial Aid Verification FAQ list
You should allow 10 business days for the verification review process and an additional 5 business days if corrections have to be made and transmitted. Additional time may be necessary during peak periods.
Verification must be completed in advance of disbursing any money from any financial aid program so it is vital to send, complete, and correct errors as quickly as possible.
Students are expected to apply for aid and complete the verification process before the term has ended. Otherwise, the student is in jeopardy of not receiving any Federal aid for their period of enrollment.
All required documents should be submitted to the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible. Any delay in submitting all required documents will cause a delay in awarding of financial aid resulting in the student being responsible for paying all or part of their bill until awarding takes place.
