Transfer students must request Financial Aid Transcripts from the Financial Aid Offices of all schools previously attended, even if they did not receive aid. The Financial Aid Transcript form collects information whether or not the student received aid, and if so, the types and amounts of aid received. In addition, students should check with the Financial Aid Office to see if they must complete an institutional financial aid application. If required, this supplemental application will be sent directly to the school. The Cost of Education will vary among schools and includes tuition, fees, room, board and allowances for indirect costs like transportation and personal expenses.
Colleges begin to package aid for the next academic year in the spring.
Students will receive an Aid Notification showing the types and amount of aid offered for each term of the academic year. It is the student's responsibility to read and understand all of the information provided, to ask questions when necessary, and to respond promptly to the aid offer. Students are selected for Verification in one of two ways. Students may be selected at random by the Department of Education. In this case, the SAR will state that the student is selected for Verification.
