VITAL NEWS
NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION
2008-2009 FAFSA's are now available
online! Want to beat the rush? File your FAFSA online now. Just go
to www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Financial Aid Deadlines Established!!
In an effort to serve our students expeditiously, the FAO has established
submission deadlines for each term. The annual financial aid
deadlines for each term are: Fall Semester - April 1, Spring Semester
- October 1, and Summer Semester - March 1. Your financial
aid file must be complete by the financial aid application deadline
in order for your file to be processed prior to the published fee
payment deadline. The financial aid application deadline means that
all required documents must be submitted by the published deadline
and not that you’ve filed your FAFSA.
Tips for applying for aid for 2008-2009
As we gear up for the Fall Semester, here are a few tips to help your
financial aid application process go smoothly:
-
Fill out the FAFSA as soon as you file your taxes.
- Read your Student Aid Report after you have filed your FAFSA. It will
tell you if you have been selected for verification or if there are
any problems regarding your FAFSA. If you are selected for verification,
there are certain documents you will need to submit to our office. Some
of these include signed copies of your federal tax returns (spouse's
return, if married and parents' return if a dependent student) and a
verification worksheet. If your SAR tells you that you have a c-flag,
you should submit documentation to our office to resolve this. If no
EFC appears on your SAR, your FAFSA was not processed. Make sure all
questions are answered and all required signatures are completed.
- HOPE Scholarships are not processed automatically. If you wish to
apply for HOPE and will not be filing a FAFSA, you can apply online
at www.gacollege411.org. You should contact our office after you have
applied. If you filed a FAFSA, simply tell one of our staff members
that you need to be reviewed for HOPE.
- If you answered "Neither" for question number 26 on your
FAFSA, you will NOT automatically be awarded a Stafford
Loan. In order to apply, you should complete a Loan
Request Form and submit it to our office.
- Check the status of your account and documents on Elroy. If you have
questions, follow up with our office.

ASU Financial Aid Office Confidentiality
Policies: Effective immediately, two new Confidentiality
Policies have been implemented for our office in order to maintain
the confidentiality and privacy of our students' files. The policies
are as follows:
Walk-in Customer Service Confidentiality Policy
Students who wish to know specific information (i.e., types
of awards and/or dollar amounts, etc.) about their financial aid records
are required to provide the Financial Aid Office Staff with their
ASU JagCard. Information concerning a student's file will not be released
to a parent, spouse or any other relative without the expressed or
written consent of the student. You may, however, obtain specific
information regarding your financial aid file by visiting ELROY at
www.aug.edu/elroy/. We will accept other photo identification for
new students who are in the process of applying to ASU and have not
received their JagCard.
Telephone Customer Service Confidentiality
Policy
Only general information (i.e., forms required to complete
your financial aid file, whether your file is complete or not) will
be released via the telephone. Information concerning a student's file
will not be released to a parent, spouse or any other relative with
out the express or written consent of the student. The student; however,
may obtain specific information regarding their financial file by visiting
ELROY at ww-w.aug.edu/elroy/.
