Your student ID is located at the top right of any email that the Financial Aid Department sends to your Herzing email. You can also find it by clicking on your name in the upper right-hand side of the financial aid portal and clicking on "my profile"

The FA Site is your Financial Aid Portal. It can be accessed through the student resource page, https://login.herzing.edu.
On this site you will see your financial aid offers and financial aid package. You can submit documentation requested to get financial aid and you can find all sorts of useful terminology and links to help understand your financial aid.

If your parents are paying for your schooling, they can make payments just like a student can: mailing a check or using a credit card or bank account through the secure payment portal at https://secure.herzing.edu.

They will need to know the following information:
1. Student Name (that matches our records)
2. Student ID#
3. Amount to pay

They can mail a check to:
Herzing University
C/O Student Accounts
275 W. Wisconsin Avenue Suite #210
Milwaukee, WI 53203

Please keep in mind that mailing a check takes longer to process than using the payment portal.

Your parent can call 1-866-508-0748 option 2 or email fa@herzing.edu to talk to financial aid.

However, if we do not have a FERPA on file, we are not allowed to give them any information on the student's account. We can only give them general information and answer questions that pertain to only their portion.

If you would like your parents to be able to call or email the school and access certain school or financial aid information, you will need to complete a Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) form that details the access the parent is allowed to receive.

For more information on FERPA use this link: https://www2.ed.gov/ferpa

No, Parents do not have access to a student's account. If there are documents that need a parent's signature, the student will set up the signature request when they sign the document, then invite the parent to sign only the required document.

Your parents’ citizenship status doesn’t affect your eligibility for federal student aid. In fact, the FAFSA form doesn’t even ask about parent citizenship status. The information provided on the FAFSA does not go to any other agency, it is used ONLY for determining your eligibility for federal aid.

If your parent doesn’t have a Social Security number (SSN), you’ll need to enter all zeros without dashes (000000000) in the parent SSN section on your FAFSA form.

Also, a parent who doesn’t have an SSN can’t create an account username and password (FSA ID) or complete their part of the FAFSA form online. They can sign the FAFSA form only if you print a signature page. To do this, select “Print Signature Page” on the “My FAFSA” or “Signature Status” page, sign and have your parent sign, then mail it to the address listed on the page. Your FAFSA form will be processed once the signature page is received.

If your parents live out of the country, you will still need to include them on the FAFSA.
On the FAFSA you will select " Foreign Country" from the dropdown menu that asks about the parents' state of legal residence.
In the tax information section, you’ll have the opportunity to indicate that they have filed their taxes. Then, when the FAFSA form asks whether your parents filed a Puerto Rican or foreign tax return, select “Yes." You will need to convert the amounts on the foreign tax return into U.S. dollars as directed by the FAFSA help.

Parents are not required to apply for the PLUS loan, it is purely optional. Even though it is optional, completing the application can still benefit the student. If a parent applies and gets approved, they do not need to take the loan. However, if the parent applies and is denied, the student can get more Unsubsidized loan funding themselves.

For parents that wish to assist in paying for their child's education, Parent PLUS loans are there to assist as an alternative to making cash payments.

Federal Parent PLUS loans are not awarded based on the student's financial need and are only awarded after the parent applies for them. Borrowers will need to complete a credit check to qualify for a PLUS loan. For more information regarding eligibility, interest rates, origination fees, repayment, loan limits, and other requirements for borrowing PLUS loans please visit the following: http://studentaid.ed.gov/types/loans/plus
