1. Beginning in March, the ULM Financial Aid Office will start to download ISIRs (Institutional Student Information Records).
- The ISIR contains the same information as your SAR. We will electronically receive your ISIR from the Federal Processor
- Once we receive your ISIR, students will receive correspondence by email to their Warhawks accounts.
- The receipt of your ISIR marks the official beginning of the Financial Aid Office's processing of your aid.
2. Additional Information:
This step will be different for each student. In this step you may be required to submit further documentation before your aid can be processed. Some students will not need any further documentation, while others may have numerous issues that will need to be addressed. You will need to carefully monitor your "Warhawks" email account and the Student Self Service system, so you will know if you need to submit additional documentation.
Students (Self Service) can check their financial aid status online...
Financial Aid for Spring 2012/Summer 2012
Verification
see the document: Verification Process [pdf]
Your financial aid cannot be processed until you have completed the verification process.
SAP:
Federal regulations require that ULM establish policies to monitor the academic progress of students who apply for and/or receive federal financial aid. If you are not meeting these requirements you may have to submit an appeal before your aid can be processed. For further information on the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy and the steps to appeal click on the following link: Satisfactory Progress.
Your financial aid cannot be processed until you have completed the appeal form and the Appeals Committee has reviewed your appeal!
3. Awarding:
Once you have completed your FAFSA and you have submitted all necessary documentation (if required), you are now ready to be awarded aid. The awarding of aid is not the end of the journey. You must now accept your awards on online (student self service). For more information on the awarding process please follow the link to the Awards page.
