2012-13 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS for transfer students

General information regarding the academic curriculum may be found here. Academic advising associates provide academic guidance and support during your time at Seaver College. The transfer/substitution of units policy may be found here.

Step 1: Complete the 2012-13 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)  The 2012-13 FAFSA is not available until January 1, 2012.

The FAFSA is required to receive University grants, Cal Grant, Federal Loans, Federal Grants, and Federal Work Study. Students can obtain this form online at www.fafsa.gov.

FAFSA on the Web is a web site that allows you to complete and submit your FAFSA information on-line. Apply for a PIN or personal identification number right away at www.pin.ed.gov so you can sign your FAFSA electronically and for faster processing. Dependent students should have one of their parents get a PIN also. The address to complete your FAFSA on the Web is http://www.fafsa.gov. You may contact the Federal Processor at 1-800-433-3243, if you need additional information.

The priority deadline to complete the FAFSA is February 15. Use estimated tax figures to complete your FAFSA if your federal tax returns are not available. The FAFSA school code for Pepperdine University is 001264.

Step 2: 2012-13 Additional Information

Only Students Selected for Verification should submit the following documents which will be listed in your "To Do List" by mid March. Review your "To Do List" often because verification items are subject to change.

Failure to submit all required verification documents may cause delays or cancellation of disbursement of federal and state awarded financial assistance. Finance charges accrue daily on past due balances. If financial assistance is delayed or cancelled it is the students/parents responsibility to find other resources to pay all charges prior to the due date in order to avoid finance charges.

PERMANENT RESIDENT VISA (GREEN CARD) PHOTOCOPY

A non-U.S. citizen with U.S. permanent residency must submit a clear photocopy of the front and back of his/her green card. Verification of all documents submitted will be completed with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Non-U.S. citizens without U.S. permanent residency are not eligible to receive financial assistance.

GPA VERIFICATION FORM (California residents only)

All California residents should apply for the Cal Grant by completing and submitting a GPA Verification and FAFSA form. These forms must be completed by the March 2 deadline to be considered for Cal Grant eligibility. Mail your completed GPA Verification form via certified or registered mail directly to the California Student Aid Commission as indicated in the instructions.
