2012-2013 Financial Aid Packages:

We have begun to issue 2012-2013 financial aid award packages electronically. Students may click here for information on how to access their 2012-2013 financial aid awards.

Please note that continuing student packages will be based on the assumption that students are in compliance with the University of Connecticut's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy. The Satisfactory Academic Progress review will take place at the end of the spring semester. Students who do not meet the parameters outlined in the SAP policy may be subject to cancellation of their financial aid packages as a result of this evaluation. Click here to view the complete SAP policy.

Verification: Beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year, federal tax returns will no longer be considered a valid form of documentation for verification purposes. Click here for details.

Summer Financial Aid: Information on summer financial aid is available here.

PLUS Loans for 2012-2013: The online application process for Federal Direct PLUS Loans (parent and graduate student borrowers) will open on June 18. On or after June 18, you may complete the online application via http://studentloans.gov

FERPA Privacy Waiver: Before calling our office on behalf of a student, please ensure that the student has identified you as a designee via the Online FERPA Privacy Waiver in the Student Administration System, and that you have your assigned access code available.

If you have not been assigned an access code, you will need to ask the student to complete the Online FERPA Privacy Waiver and name you as a designee in order for University staff to be able to speak with you.

Information regarding FERPA and the privacy waiver is available here.

Send your forms via fax: To expedite the processing of your financial aid application, we strongly recommend faxing materials to (860) 486-6629 if at all possible. This allows our office to process your documents most efficiently. Click here for additional information regarding the submission of forms.
