Applications for Summer 2013 financial aid available now

Summer 2013 financial aid applications are now available in the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid and on our website. Students seeking financial aid for summer must have a completed 2012-13 FAFSA on file in our office, be degree seeking, and be enrolled in summer classes before submitting their application.

Have you completed your FAFSA for 2013-14?

Each year you must complete and submit a FAFSA to be considered for federal student aid and for most state and institutional aid. For maximum aid consideration, submit the FAFSA between January 1 and March 15. New to the process? Follow these steps.

Repeating Courses

According to federal legislation, effective July 1, 2011, repeated courses may only count towards financial aid eligibility if:

a) the course was previously failed or

b) the course was previously passed only once

This means a student who fails a class may repeat a class and have it count as credit toward their

enrollment status for financial aid purposes, but a student who has already passed a class may only repeat the class once (e.g., to receive a better grade) and have these credits count toward financial

aid eligibiity.

The Financial Aid Office does not determine if you may repeat a class, only whether you may be eligible

for financial aid for a repeat class. For more information on the university policy regarding repeated coursework, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 262-595-2574.

What you should know about verification and

your 2013-14 FAFSA

One in three students who complete a FAFSA are selected for a process known as "verification." This process prevents our office from awarding you financial aid until we have received documentation from you, and have confirmed that what you submit to us matches what is on your FAFSA. To be eligible for Federal and State aid programs you MUST submit any required documentation to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid prior to your last date of attendance for the academic year. See Verification for more information.
