FAFSA
I have questions about the FAFSA
There are new changes in place to make the FAFSA process easier. We have created the FAFSA Simplification FAQ to help you prepare for these changes. Visit the FAFSA Simplification FAQ for more information.
• You are a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
• You have a valid social security number. (Exceptions include residents from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of Palau).
• You have a high school diploma, GED, or have passed an exam approved by the U.S. Department of Education.
• You are enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program at or through Herzing University.
• You must not owe a refund on a federal grant or be in default on a federal student loan.
• You must demonstrate financial need (except for unsubsidized Stafford Loans)
Your Financial Aid Advisor may require you to provide the school with your DRN. This request will be made through the documents section of the Financial Aid Portal.
The FAFSA becomes available on October 1 each year. We recommend that all students complete the FAFSA as soon as it is available.
You will want to begin by creating an FSA ID. An FSA ID is your username and password for filling out your FAFSA application and your electronic signature for signing and submitting the FAFSA.
For a walkthrough on how to complete the most recent FAFSA, please use this link https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out

Due to the IRS allowing for extensions, the previous year's tax information is sometimes unavailable. Using prior prior year will allow more students and families to complete the FAFSA using income information imported directly from the IRS because the taxes will have already been filed and processed.
For Example, if you were married in 2022 and the FAFSA requires 2020 taxes, you still are required to add your spouse's information from the 2020 tax year.
If you have not completed the FAFSA, your Married/Divorced status is based on the day you fill out the FAFSA.
If you have no contact with your parents and don’t know where they live, or you’ve left home due to an unsafe situation, fill out the FAFSA form and then immediately get in touch with the financial aid office
The first campus 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.

Documents
I have questions about needed documents
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 that are 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 you wish us to send any credit back to you, regardless of future charges. This option may require additional loan funding or a payment plan in the future to pay for uncovered charges.
Find the document requested. In the lower right-hand corner, you will see "review and update"; click there and the box will open up.
In the lower left hand of the opened box, you will see a blue box with an upward arrow that says "Upload a Form"; click that and follow the prompts to move forward. If your document requires an electric signature, it will ask you to enter your name and student ID number.
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.

The consequences of defaulting can not only impact your ability to borrow but can impact your finances as well. Consequences include the following:
You lose eligibility for additional federal student aid.
The default is reported to credit bureaus, damaging your credit rating and affecting your ability to buy a car or house or to get a credit card.
In some professions, being in default can result in loss of professional license.
For more information on defaulted federal loans, click here: https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/default
Related Questions
Another way to get out of default is to repay the defaulted loan in full, but that's not a practical option for most borrowers. There are two additional ways to get out of default if Fresh Start and full repayment are not options and they are: rehabilitating your loan(s) and consolidating your loan(s).
For assistance in getting out of default in Federal and Private Education Loans, our Alumni Support Center is here to help! Calling 1-866-508-0748 Option 7 or emailing alumnisupport@herzing.edu will start the process.
Most dependent undergraduate students are eligible for up to $31,000 in federal loan funding.
Graduate students are eligible for up to $138,500 in federal loan Funding. This amount will also include any loans taken out in your undergraduate career. For example, as a student you borrowed $12,300. This means you would have $126,200 remaining to use in a graduate program.
If you have reached the maximum, you can pay down your loans to become eligible for more loan funding.
To track the amount of loan funding you have used, please utilize the National Student Data System: https://nslds.ed.gov/nslds/nslds_SA/

If you want to increase your loans to receive excess funding (stipend), you will need to get in touch with your financial aid advisor and discuss your options. We want to ensure that you understand what increasing your loans will do to your repayment in the future.
Alternative loans are loans from private sources, like your bank or a national bank. Herzing has relationships with a number of banks where the funds will come directly to the school to pay for your tuition. Please use this link for more information on Alternative loans: https://www.herzing.edu/files/StudentLoansInfoSheet_1119_LR.pdf
PLUS loans enter repayment once your loan is fully disbursed (paid out). If you have received a PLUS loan as a graduate or professional student, the loans go into automatic deferment. This deferment means you won’t have to pay while you’re in school and are enrolled at least half-time. The deferment continues for an additional six months after you leave school or drop below half-time enrollment status.
If you’re a parent PLUS loan borrower, you can ask for a deferment. This deferment means you won’t have to pay on the loan while your child is enrolled at least half-time and for an additional six months after your child leaves school or drops below half-time status.
If you’ve started repaying your loans and then go back to school on at least a half-time basis, Herzing will send an automatic deferment to your lender for federal loans.
If you have loans from a private source, outside of federal loans, please refer to your individual loan agreement with your lender.

If you wish to navigate repayment on your own, we recommend starting with your lender. The lender will have resources on how to begin the repayment process through their website.
If you’re no longer required to make payments on your loans due to your job, this is generally called forgiveness or cancellation.
If you’re no longer required to make payments on your loans due to other circumstances, such as a total and permanent disability or the closure of the school where you received your loans, this is generally called discharge.
It’s important to remember that outside of the circumstances that may qualify you to have your loans forgiven, canceled, or discharged, you remain responsible for repaying your loan—whether or not you complete your education, find a job related to your program of study, or are happy with the education you paid for with your loan. Even if you were a minor (under the age of 18) when you signed your promissory note or received the loan, you are still responsible for repaying your loan.
For more in-depth information of loan forgiveness, Please go to: https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation

Refund/Stipend
I have questions about a refund or stipend
This can happen if the student has withdrawn from a course or the university and it has caused a change in the cost of tuition or fees. The loans will be returned to the lender to reduce the student's overall loan balance.
If this happens to a loan, that portion of the loan acts like it never existed. There are no fees attached and any interest accrued on that portion of the loan goes away.
The first is when a student has requested additional funding to help pay for school-related expenses and the stipend is issued to the student within 14 days from when there is a credit on the account.
The second way is if the student did not request additional funding and they did not fill out the Title IV Authorization form. If this is the case, please contact your Financial Aid Advisor to discuss solutions.
Related Questions
They will check the bank to make sure the check has not been cashed and then request you to complete a Check Re-Issue form through your portal.
Certain Herzing scholarships offered to students require that students limit their borrowing to cover direct tuition and fee expenses only. This means excess funding for expenses outside of those direct charges are limited when opting to receive these scholarships. For a list of Herzing scholarships that require this direct packaging, visit https://www.herzing.edu/tuition-financial-aid/types-financial-aid/scholarships-grants.
Excess funds created by grant funding, such as the Federal Pell Grant will always be sent to you, and scholarship eligibility will not be lost. If you wish to receive a stipend from loans, you will need to discuss with your financial aid advisor how to remove the scholarship from your account. Please be advised once the scholarship is removed from your account, you can never get it back.
With VRRAP funds, Herzing is paid 50% at the beginning of the program, 25% at graduation and 25% once employment is secured. The stipend will be released within 14 days of the federal funding being paid to the school. This is the only case where a stipend is released to the student without there being a credit on the account due to the nature of how VRRAP funding pays to the school.
These expenses include but are not limited to, purchasing a new computer, school supplies, textbooks, additional scrubs for an externship, software programs, internet, off-campus housing, or transportation to and from school or externship.
Expenses not included would be vacation expenses, holiday gifts, etc.
Once BankMobile is notified, they will send you an email and a letter with instructions on how to set up the direct deposit. If Herzing sends the funds to BankMobile before you set up your account, you will be notified via email and text that you need to set up your account.
Scheduling/Enrollment
I have questions about my financial aid and my schedule/enrollment
When enrolled in a graduate/professional degree you must have 3 or more credits scheduled in a semester.
Identified transfer credits can only officially be conferred and be posted to a student's account once we receive the official transcripts.
Sometimes it may leave a balance on a student's account. If this happens, we will work with you on a financial plan.
If you need to take a break from the University, tuition and fee adjustments happen in a similar way to withdrawing from the school. One big difference is that you will come back on a date that is pre-determined with your Student Services Advisor.
If the break happens at the end of the semester, there is no proration of tuition and fees. However, if you need to take the break after the semester starts, we will take the number of days you have attended the classes and apply the tuition and fees based on the number of days, not the whole semester.
Related Questions
If you wish to return to Herzing after withdrawing, your financial aid advisor will work out the options for covering the balance with you.
Federal regulations require the University to establish, publish, and apply standards to monitor your progress toward completing your degree program. If you fail to meet the SAP standards, you will be placed on financial aid warning or suspension.

Tuition Invoice
How do I get a tuition statement or invoice?
Many employers require students to submit proof that their tuition has been paid before they reimburse the student.
They will include the course Name, Number, Date, cost, and payment method. You can make a request for grades to be recorded as well.
Call or email your financial aid advisor or campus location to request a tuition statement or invoice. Depending on the current demand for tuition statements and invoices, it can take up to 3-5 business days.
