To receive federal aid or institutional need-based aid, students must be a U.S. citizen, eligible permanent resident or eligible non-citizen.

All federal aid is restricted to U.S. citizens, eligible permanent residents and eligible non-citizens.
Students for whom verification of US citizenship or permanent resident status is required must provide one of the following :
• Documentation indicating U.S. citizenship: U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, certificate of citizenship, naturalization, or birth abroad.
• Alien Registration Receipt Card: I-151 or I-551 (front and back).
• Departure Record: I-94 or CBP I-94A. Must be stamped "Processed for I-551" with expiration date or "Temporary Form I-551" with appropriate information filled in.
• Machine Readable Immigrant Visa (MRIV), which serves as a temporary I-551.
All other eligible non-citizens (refugees, asylees, parolees, and other special circumstances) must provide written documentation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that they hold a citizenship status approved for the receipt of federal financial aid. This documentation will then be matched with DHS records.
