How does it work with financial aid when i transfer colleges. Does it automatically transfer?
I am transferring from Ashford to Northwestern next semester. I don’t know how to transfer my financial aid and student loans. What do I need to do?
You will need to go back to the FAFSA site (www.fafsa.ed.gov) and follow these directions:
1. There is a big 1, 2, and 3 on the front page. Go to number 3 and click on the link that says add or delete a school code.
2. Add your new school code in the space.
3. If everything else is correct on your fafsa form, click on submit.
Your new school will have access to your student aid report within a few days so you should contact them to see what other paperwork they require to complete your aid package, such as tax forms, institutional forms, and verification documents. This will not transfer from the previous school and you will NOT be given an aid package or an award letter until you are ACCEPTED through the admissions dept. of the new school.
