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.

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 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 that you wish us to send any credit back to you, regardless of any future charges. This option may require additional loan funding or a payment plan in the future to pay for uncovered charges.

Sometimes your Financial Aid advisor will need more information about specific situations. If there is something that we need you to explain in detail we will add a needed student statement to your documents section.

In the needed document area, the reason for the student statement will be listed. Please review what your advisor has asked you to explain and contact them for any additional assistance.

This document is required for us to verify your identity as part of a process called Verification. The request for this document doesn't mean that you did anything wrong, it just means that the Federal Government needs us to verify your identity before we can award you federal aid.

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.

The Verification worksheet is a smart form located in your Student Financial Aid Portal in the document section. It is used to verify the number of people in the household and income earned.

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.

The MPN can be completed by going to this link: https://studentaid.gov/mpn/

For undergraduates and graduates using Subsidized and Unsubsidized loan funding, please complete the MPN for Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans. This one can be found in the Undergraduate section, or chosen in the Graduate Section.

For Graduate students who have used up their Unsubsidized loan eligibility or want to use only Grad Plus loans, please log into the Graduate section and select the PLUS MPN.

When completing the MPN, they will ask you if you want to notify a school. Please search for Herzing in the state of Wisconsin under the city of Madison. The first campus that was 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.

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.
