FAFSA
I have questions about the FAFSA
There are new changes in place to make the FAFSA process easier. We have created the FAFSA Simplification FAQ to help you prepare for these changes. Visit the FAFSA Simplification FAQ for more information.
Herzing's school code is 009621. Adding the school code will show Herzing's Madison, WI Campus –this is the correct campus no matter where you live.
The first campus approved to use Federal Aid was in Madison, Wisconsin. Because of this, any campus established after this will use the Madison campus as the parent campus.

The FAFSA is not required for students to attend Herzing. However, if you wish to explore federal funding options, the FAFSA is required. Some Herzing students fill it out to receive state or federal grant funding. Please be aware that filling out the FAFSA will not affect your credit and does not mean you are using federal funding.
The Student Aid Report shows the information you provided on your FAFSA form, your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) figure, and your Data Release Number (DRN). Review this information carefully. If you need to make any corrections, go to make a correction to revise your processed FAFSA.
Your Financial Aid Advisor may require you to provide the school with your DRN. This request will be made through the documents section of the Financial Aid Portal.

As soon as you have decided to further your education, you should start the financial aid process by creating your FSAID and then begin filling out your FAFSA form.
The FAFSA becomes available on October 1 each year. We recommend that all students complete the FAFSA as soon as it is available.

You can complete the FAFSA online at the FAFSA website. If you have never filed a FAFSA, click "Start Here."
You will want to begin by creating an FSA ID. An FSA ID is your username and password for filling out your FAFSA application and your electronic signature for signing and submitting the FAFSA.

If you answered 'No' to all of the questions on the FAFSA, you are still considered dependent even if you live on your own and support yourself. You still must answer the questions about your parents if you’re considered a dependent student.
If you have no contact with your parents and don’t know where they live, or you’ve left home due to an unsafe situation, fill out the FAFSA form and then immediately get in touch with the financial aid office

A dependent student cannot be considered independent based only on parents refusing to help with the FAFSA. If you are unable to add information on the FAFSA form, the application will be considered “rejected,” and you might not be able to receive any federal student aid. The FAFSA instructions will tell you what to do if you are in this situation and your Financial Aid Advisor can help
The FAFSA uses what is called Prior/Prior year tax information. That means the taxes used for the FAFSA aren't from last year but the year before that. For example, the 2023-2024 FAFSA uses the 2021 taxes, not the 2022 taxes.
Due to the IRS allowing for extensions, the previous year's tax information is sometimes unavailable. Using prior prior year will allow more students and families to complete the FAFSA using income information imported directly from the IRS because the taxes will have already been filed and processed.

Using prior prior year will allow more students and families to complete the FAFSA using income information imported directly from the IRS because the taxes will have already been filed and processed.
The FAFSA form was designed to provide a picture of the family's financial strength as of the day you fill it out. Since parents and spouses contribute financially to the family, their income needs to be included.
For Example, if you were married in 2022 and the FAFSA requires 2020 taxes, you still are required to add your spouse's information from the 2020 tax year.
For Example, if you were married in 2022 and the FAFSA requires 2020 taxes, you still are required to add your spouse's information from the 2020 tax year.
If you are expecting a child and you will provide at least 50% of the support for that child, you can answer 'Yes' to the question on the FAFSA stating, "Do you now have—or will you have—children who will receive more than half (50%) of their support from you". You can update your FAFSA to 'yes' after it is determining that you are pregnant.
If your marital status changes, you must speak to the financial aid office to determine whether you may update your current FAFSA form.
If you have not completed the FAFSA, your Married/Divorced status is based on the day you fill out the FAFSA.
If you have not completed the FAFSA, your Married/Divorced status is based on the day you fill out the FAFSA.

Being selected for verification is very common, don't panic! Verification is a random selection by the Department of Education to spot-check information on the FAFSA and verify it for accuracy.
Not everyone is selected for verification, and not everyone has to verify the same items.
If you have been selected for verification, Herzing must obtain additional information to process your financial aid application. Please log into the Financial Aid Site using your individual Username and Password to view the required documents. The Financial Aid Site will list the status of your documents, including those needed for verification.

If you have used the Data Retrieval Tool in the FAFSA, the Taxes are usually not needed. There are cases, however, where your Financial Aid Advisor may need to collect your taxes, and if they are needed, you will be notified.
Usually, you do not need your tax transcripts; we can use your 1040. If you use the 1040, please make sure that you attach Schedule 1, 2 or 3 if they were part of the return. Please keep in mind that your Financial Aid Advisor may request additional information if needed

There are two ways of completing your Proof of Identity/Statement of Educational Purpose (SEP form).
The first option is to make an appointment at any Herzing location to complete the form in person.
The second option is to take the document to a notary. You will fill out the first full page in front of the Notary and they will complete the second page. If you use this option, you will need to mail the original to Herzing University at the address at the bottom of page 2.

Notarizing the SEP means that you have completed the form in person before a Notary Public. A notary public is a person appointed by the state government to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing various official fraud-deterrent acts related to signing important documents.
By completing the document before a Notary Public, you are ensuring that your identity is confirmed.
Notaries can be found in a variety of places. The most common locations would be UPS stores, libraries, banks, AAA, or law firms. You can use this link to assist you in your search: http://www.nationalnotary.org/resources-for/public/find-a-notary
Online notaries are not allowed to be used. National leaders in financial aid administration have clarified with the Department of Education that they do not recognize online notaries as acceptable for this document.

If you do not submit the required document(s), there is a risk that your enrollment could be cancelled. We want to ensure that you have funding to cover your classes, and any needed documentation will assist in that.
If you are a student currently taking classes, failure to submit documentation could result in a payment plan being put in place to cover the cost of your tuition. If we don't have a way to pay for tuition, your account could get locked and the progress you have made in classes will slow.

This document tells Herzing how you would like us to use your federal aid. Keep in mind that you can change your answers at any time.
In some cases, a credit (more funds than what is needed for tuition and fees) can appear on your student account, and your answers on this form tell us what you would like us to do with that credit.
Answering "Yes" to these questions allows Herzing to apply a credit that may occur on your student account towards certain future charges. It will not affect your stipend; it will just prevent a potential payment plan. It also allows Herzing to reduce your overall loan balance by returning federal loans that are no longer needed due to a schedule change or revision back to the lender. This will reduce your overall loan debt.
Answering "no" to the questions tells us you wish us to send any credit back to you, regardless of future charges. This option may require additional loan funding or a payment plan in the future to pay for uncovered charges.

The U.S. Department of Education has rules to prevent fraud and abuse in Federal Aid Programs by identifying students with "unusual enrollment histories". Unusual enrollment history is when a student enrolls at a school, receives federal student aid, fails to complete any classes and then goes to another school.
Some students with an unusual enrollment history have legitimate reasons for attending multiple schools. However, the enrollment history requires the Financial Aid Office to review your file to determine future Federal financial aid eligibility. If selected by the Department of Education, this must be resolved before you will receive financial aid.

Before you receive a Direct Loan, you must complete Entrance Counseling.
The Entrance Counseling is a short course about Federal Loan funding and other programs. If you have completed it at a previous school, you are not required to do it again.
To complete the entrance counseling, go to: http://studentaid.gov/entrance-counseling/
For undergraduates and graduates using Subsidized and Unsubsidized loan funding, please complete the Entrance Counseling for Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans found in the Undergraduate section or chosen in the Graduate Section.
When doing the course, they will ask if you want to notify a school. Please search for Herzing in the state of Wisconsin under the city of Madison.
The first campus approved to use Federal Aid was in Madison, Wisconsin. Because of this, any campus established after this will use the Madison campus as the parent campus.

There are several reasons why we may be asking for your transcripts, including:
• The federal government flagged a student for what is called Unusual Enrollment History. In this situation, we need the transcripts to verify the grades earned at schools attended in prior years.
• Using certain military benefits. The VA requires schools to collect transcripts to ensure students are using benefits for the same class only once.
• Eligibility for specific State or other funding sources.
If you are unsure of the reason for the transcript request, you should contact your Financial Aid Advisor.

Before you receive a Direct Loan, you must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN).
The MPN is your agreement with the Federal Government to pay back the Federal Loans. It is good for a total of 10 years if it is used, 1 year if not used, and must be completed again if it expires.

Funding Options
What are my funding options?
Grant funding is aid that you do not need to pay back to the agency that issues it.
Grant funding that comes from the Federal Government is automatically awarded to a student based on the FAFSA information supplied. The most common type of Federal Grant funding is the Pell Grant. The Pell Grant can be received for Undergraduate programs for students who have not earned a bachelor's degree or have used 12 full-time semesters of Pell Grant in the past.

Once you have earned a bachelor's degree or your first professional degree or have used up all 12 terms of your eligibility, you are no longer eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant. Another reason may be that after completing the FAFSA, financial need was not determined to be high enough to get Pell Grant. Please contact your Financial Aid Advisor if you have any questions on this.
Each state has its own regulations. If Herzing has a campus in your state, we will send your information to the state to see if you are eligible. If you are, we will revise your package as soon as we are notified.

To be in default means that you have fallen very far behind on your federal student loan payments. There are many different options to clear your default. Reaching out to your lender or our Alumni Support Center (866-508-0748 option 7) can start you on the journey to getting out of default.
The consequences of defaulting can not only impact your ability to borrow but can impact your finances as well. Consequences include the following:
You lose eligibility for additional federal student aid.
The default is reported to credit bureaus, damaging your credit rating and affecting your ability to buy a car or house or to get a credit card.
In some professions, being in default can result in loss of professional license.

Some defaulted loans may qualify for the Fresh Start Program. Fresh Start will continue through one year after the COVID-19 payment pause ends.

For more information on the Fresh Start Program, click here: http://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/default-fresh-start

Repayment of most federal student loans begins six months after you leave college or drop below half-time enrollment.
PLUS loans enter repayment once your loan is fully disbursed (paid out). If you have received a PLUS loan as a graduate or professional student, the loans go into automatic deferment. This deferment means you won’t have to pay while you’re in school and are enrolled at least half-time. The deferment continues for an additional six months after you leave school or drop below half-time enrollment status.
If you’re a parent PLUS loan borrower, you can ask for a deferment. This deferment means you won’t have to pay on the loan while your child is enrolled at least half-time and for an additional six months after your child leaves school or drops below half-time status.
If you’ve started repaying your loans and then go back to school on at least a half-time basis, Herzing will send an automatic deferment to your lender for federal loans.

The terms forgiveness, cancellation, or discharge mean roughly the same thing, but they are used differently. They mean that you are no longer required to repay some or all of your loan.
If you’re no longer required to make payments on your loans due to your job, this is generally called forgiveness or cancellation.
If you’re no longer required to make payments on your loans due to other circumstances, such as a total and permanent disability or the closure of the school where you received your loans, this is generally called discharge.
It’s important to remember that outside of the circumstances that may qualify you to have your loans forgiven, canceled, or discharged, you remain responsible for repaying your loan—whether or not you complete your education, find a job related to your program of study, or are happy with the education you paid for with your loan. Even if you were a minor (under the age of 18) when you signed your promissory note or received the loan, you are still responsible for repaying your loan.

Herzing recommends that students use the payment portal http://secure.zheeer.com and sign up for auto-withdrawal since this is the safest and most reliable way to make payments. It is important to note the payment portal is not linked to your student account, so you will need to know the amount to pay before heading to this site.

Refund/Stipend
I have questions about a refund or stipend
A refund is funding that has been returned to the federal government, school, or alternative source.
This can happen if the student has withdrawn from a course or the university and it has caused a change in the cost of tuition or fees. The loans will be returned to the lender to reduce the student's overall loan balance.
If this happens to a loan, that portion of the loan acts like it never existed. There are no fees attached and any interest accrued on that portion of the loan goes away.

If this happens to a loan, that portion of the loan acts like it never existed. There are no fees attached and any interest accrued on that portion of the loan goes away.
A Stipend is when a student gets funding released back to them. Stipends can happen for a couple of reasons.
The first is when a student has requested additional funding to help pay for school-related expenses and the stipend is issued to the student within 14 days from when there is a credit on the account.
The second way is if the student did not request additional funding and they did not fill out the Title IV Authorization form. If this is the case, please contact your Financial Aid Advisor to discuss solutions.

Certain Herzing scholarships offered to students require that students limit their borrowing to cover direct tuition and fee expenses only. This means excess funding for expenses outside of those direct charges are limited when opting to receive these scholarships. For a list of Herzing scholarships that require this direct packaging, visit http://3c9y.zheeer.com/tuition-financial-aid/types-financial-aid/scholarships-grants.
Excess funds created by grant funding, such as the Federal Pell Grant will always be sent to you, and scholarship eligibility will not be lost. If you wish to receive a stipend from loans, you will need to discuss with your financial aid advisor how to remove the scholarship from your account. Please be advised once the scholarship is removed from your account, you can never get it back.
If a student is using military benefits and has excess generated due to Pell Grant or additional loan funding, that stipend will be released once a credit appears on the account. Normally this is created once VA funding has been received.
With VRRAP funds, Herzing is paid 50% at the beginning of the program, 25% at graduation and 25% once employment is secured. The stipend will be released within 14 days of the federal funding being paid to the school. This is the only case where a stipend is released to the student without there being a credit on the account due to the nature of how VRRAP funding pays to the school.

These expenses include but are not limited to, purchasing a new computer, school supplies, textbooks, additional scrubs for an externship, software programs, internet, off-campus housing, or transportation to and from school or externship.
Expenses not included would be vacation expenses, holiday gifts, etc.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards ensure that you are successfully completing your coursework and can continue to receive financial aid. All students receiving financial aid are required to meet SAP standards.
Federal regulations require the University to establish, publish, and apply standards to monitor your progress toward completing your degree program. If you fail to meet the SAP standards, you will be placed on financial aid warning or suspension.

If you need to leave school (withdraw) because life happens, we understand that. If this happens to you, we will perform what is called a Federal Return to Title IV Calculation. This calculation takes the number of days you have sat in courses and adjusts your tuition and aid according to the Federal and State rules we are required to follow.
Sometimes it may leave a balance on a student's account. If this happens, we will work with you on a financial plan.
If you need to take a break from the University, tuition and fee adjustments happen in a similar way to withdrawing from the school. One big difference is that you will come back on a date that is pre-determined with your Student Services Advisor.
If the break happens at the end of the semester, there is no proration of tuition and fees. However, if you need to take the break after the semester starts, we will take the number of days you have attended the classes and apply the tuition and fees based on the number of days, not the whole semester.
