Step 2 - Check Your UHV Email and MyUHV Financial Aid Links

All financial aid notifications are sent to the student's UHV email account. Keep checking your financial aid application status periodically on myUHV. After the financial aid staff reviews the submitted paperwork, additional forms and documents may be requested. The requested documents will be listed on the To Do List in myUHV.

Step 3 - Submit All Forms Listed on Your To Do List

Log into myUHV. Click on the following links: UHV Self-Service > Financial Aid > To Do List. Click on the document's name to find out more details about the requested document and where you can go to find the form. Financial aid will not be awarded until all requested documents are submitted and processed.

Step 4 - Review and Submit Optional Forms

1. Students selected for verification need to submit the following paperwork within 45 days after the required documentation is requested or the last class day of the term, whichever is first:
   
   
   • Students may need to request a free copy of their federal tax return transcript from the IRS website.  If the student is classified as a dependent student, UHV will request a copy of the parent's tax return transcript.  If the student is married, the student will need to submit a copy of the spouse's tax return transcript.  If no tax returns were submitted to the IRS, a Statement of Non-Filing Form will need to be submitted. When requesting a tax transcript, students will need the Social Security Number of the taxpayer, date of birth, street address and postal code listed on the latest tax return, a personal account number, and a mobile phone number.
   • The requested *Dependent or Independent V1, V4, or V5 Verification Worksheet must be submitted.
   • Students may be selected for verification by the Department of Education or UHV when a reason to believe errors may have been made when the student completed the FAFSA. A comparison of the tax documents to the FAFSA data is conducted. Discrepancies will be corrected on the FAFSA. The verification process could take up to three weeks when corrections are necessary.
2. If you are classified as a Post Baccalaureate Student, complete and submit the *Post Baccalaureate Certification Form.
3. Students who co-enroll can complete the *Consortium Agreement Form and provide a copy of the Paid Fee Receipt and Class Schedule from the other school. The student's financial aid package can then be awarded based on the transferable hours and UHV hours. For more details, review the Consortium Agreement web page.
4. Review the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy and the Return of Title IV Funds Policy.
5. All *Financial Aid forms must be on file and reflect correct information no later than the last class day of the term for which you are applying. You cannot receive payment if you are not currently enrolled.

* Financial Aid forms and worksheets are posted on the Financial Aid Forms web page.

All Financial Aid forms must be on file and reflect correct information no later than the last class day of the term for which you are applying. You cannot receive payment if you are not currently enrolled.

Once a student accepts his/her financial aid awards, the awards will appear on the student's billing account in myUHV as anticipated aid.  Scholarships will be credited toward the students university account after all required documentation has been received and the student meets the eligibility criteria of the award.

Financial aid will not disburse to a student's account if Financial Aid forms or documentation are still appearing on the student's To-Do List; the eligibility criteria is not met; a financial aid hold is on the student's record; or the student's cost of attendance budget and awards have not yet been revised to meet his/her current enrollment status.  If one semester remains in an academic year prior to the student's graduation, the scholarship may be prorated according to the student's enrollment status and can be disbursed in one disbursement.

UHV begins disbursing financial aid to the student accounts no earlier than the first day of class. The financial aid will be applied to current year charges.  Any resulting credit balance will be issued to the student. Students will be notified via UHV email when their financial aid is applied to their student account.

Any resulting credit balance will be issued to students in accordance with the refund preference they have selected through BankMobile.
