Step 11: Once you have completed the electronic form, you will be returned to the task page where you will see the requirement asking that you upload supporting documentation. You may upload documents you have saved on your computer, or you may upload photographs of documents you have taken (with your cell phone, for example). The documents you must provide are outlined on the electronic appeal form.

Step 12: Once you have uploaded your supporting documentation, select the “Submit” button, and then the green “Finish” button.

The review process can take one to two weeks to complete depending on the receipt of a completed electronic appeal, requests for additional information, and the time of year the application is submitted. When our office receives the application, a Financial Aid Advisor will review the appeal. Students will be notified via email if any additional information or clarification is needed, and will also be notified via email of the decision on their appeal.
