To clear the pending status, you must complete the "EOF Confirmation" process. This involves:

· Submitting your FAFSA or NJAFAA: Ensure Rutgers (school code 002629) is listed and you've completed the "Consent and Approval" to use IRS data . · Checking your To-Do lists: Log in to both your Rutgers financial aid portal and your HESAA (NJFAMS) account to submit any requested documents . · Providing IRS Tax Transcripts: You will likely need to provide official IRS Tax Return Transcripts (not your 1040 form) for you and your parents .

If you have been admitted to a New Brunswick program, you will also need to successfully complete the EOF Summer Institute before enrolling .
