Transferring Financial Aid

Financial Aid does not transfer automatically when a student transfers from one university to another. To continue receiving aid at the new university, the student must check with a Financial Aid officer at the new university to find out what programs are available and what steps are necessary. Students who decide to transfer must have the former university send a financial aid transcript to the new university. If the new university does not receive this transcript, the student will have difficulty receiving financial aid.

Transfer students who have a Federal Pell Grant must get a duplicate copy of their Student Aid Report and submit it to the new university’s financial aid office.

Transfer students who have a Federal Perkins Loan or a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant should check with the Financial Aid Office at the new school to find out if funds from these programs are available.
