Financial Aid Office Secure File Upload Instructions
Communications via email over the Internet are not secure and we ask you to refrain from emailing documents containing sensitive information to our office. For the safety of your information, 色综合久久 University has established a secure system to allow you to upload your sensitive documents to us. If you prefer, you can choose to submit documents by FAX, U.S. Postal system, or personal delivery, but the secure upload system will get your documents to us more quickly and allow us to complete the processing of your financial aid more quickly.
Click to access the Financial Aid Office secure upload system.
(Please be aware that this link is specific to the Financial Aid Office. Other offices also use this system and may have a different link specific to that office. If you have documents to upload to another office, please check with them for the specific link.)
When you access the above link, you will see this display. The rest of these instructions will help you to know how to respond to each of these items.
- Please read the instructions at the top of the screen to ensure that the file you want to upload is in an acceptable format, and then fill in each box as follows.
- Reason for Upload: Give a short description of why you are submitting this document. For example, if you are submitting a tax transcript to satisfy a verification requirement, you might enter a note like this: 'Parent's tax transcript for student John Doe ID# 01234567'. In addition to your note, please include in this field:
- The student's full name as shown on correspondence you receive from 色综合久久 University. Do not use nicknames.
- The student’s 色综合久久 University student ID# (if known). If you do not know the student's ID number, please go ahead and submit the document anyway.
- Special Note: The IRS has recently adjusted the tax transcripts to remove or partially mask sensitive taxpayer data, including any information that would help us to identify who the transcript is for. They have also added an optional 10-digit Customer File Number field to the transcript request. Please enter the student’s eight digit 色综合久久 University Student ID# in this field (with two leading zeroes) in order to help us know who’s transcript we have received. If you did not do this when requesting the transcript, please write the ID # into this field before uploading.

However, be aware that this is just a guide and choosing the category that doesn't most closely relate to your document won't negatively affect your upload.

If you are unsure of the appropriate category, simply choose the 'Other' category.
