DocTrac Processing

The DocTrac process provides an easy way for college financial administrators to confirm a document's receipt by HESC, streamline document handling, and track the progress of document porcessing.  
 
Financial aid officials may use DocTrac to follow documents that maintain, update and correct information in a student's grant or TAP file.

Documents that may be submitted and tracked through DocTrac include:

  • TAP residency documentation
  • financial independence documentation
  • proof of dependency
  • federal and state income tax forms
  • additional time sensitive information


Note: TAP applications may not be processed using the DocTrac system. At tap.hesc.ny.gov/totw/ students can submit TAP applications and also find instructions on processing TAP applications.
