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.

We want to ensure that we can have your financial aid package ready as quickly as possible. This is why we place a deadline on your documents. The faster we can get the documents we need, the faster your financial aid can be processed accurately.

Transcripts can be sent to Herzing in a few different ways:

Official Transcripts
Transcripts must be sent directly from your former institution to Herzing University to be deemed official. Transcripts can be sent electronically to registrar@herzing.edu or via mail to:
Herzing University Registrar's Office
275 W Wisconsin Ave Ste. 210,
Milwaukee, WI 53203

Unofficial Transcripts
If you would like to have your unofficial transcripts reviewed, email them directly to your admissions advisor or info@herzing.edu.

Unofficial transcripts will generally have all information needed to complete the Unusual Enrollment History requirements.

Many schools will allow you to download a copy of the transcripts right from your student portal. Sometimes, calling your previous school's registration department may be necessary. If your last school is closed, please let your Financial Aid Advisor know to get your next steps.

To begin, you will need to submit a grade report, unofficial or official transcripts from each school requested and listed in the document section of your Financial Aid Portal. Please ensure the submission has grades earned and the dates of the courses. Your Financial Aid Advisor may request additional documentation on a case-by-case basis, and they will notify you if they do.

If you can't get the required documents, please contact your financial aid advisor right away to discuss the next steps.

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.

A valid unexpired government-issued photo identification (photo ID) can include, but is not limited to, the following:

U.S. Passport;
Driver’s license;
Non-driver’s identification card;
Other state-issued ID;
Permanent Resident Card or Resident Alien Card (I-551, can be photocopied for Title IV purposes);
Certificate of Naturalization if it contains a recognizable photo, even though it does not have an expiration date;
Inmate ID from a government facility, even if it does not have an expiration date; or
State-issued voter ID, even if it does not have an expiration date.

The following documents are not acceptable for completing verification:

A government-issued photo ID from a foreign country not previously listed;
Military IDs, because there is a general prohibition on photocopying military IDs;
Student IDs, not even those issued by state schools; or
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program IDs (SNAP IDs) with or without a picture because they should not be photocopied.

The Department of Education does not require that an ID have a date. However, if there is a date, it must not be expired. If your ID is expired, you may use a different approved ID, or you will have to get your existing ID renewed.

If you cannot get to a Notary, you may make an appointment at a Herzing location to complete it with a Financial Aid advisor. If these two options can't work for you, contact your Financial Aid Advisor right away.
