Student Financial Services

What an exciting time it is for our incoming and returning students! With summer winding down and the adventure of the fall semester just around the corner, it is important to remember there may be some things that are left to complete before the school year begins. To help ensure students have a smooth transition into school, we have developed a checklist of things to do to make sure your student’s Financial Aid and Student Account are ready when school begins.

• Accept or decline all offers of aid: These can be viewed in Zagweb.
• Submit any outstanding paperwork to Financial Aid: If you have any outstanding document requests, “Unsatisfied Disbursement Requirements” will appear under your award amounts on ZagWeb. (If it does not appear, then you do not currently have outstanding requirements.) Check online at Zagweb.
• Respond to your billing statement: All students are required to settle their accounts by completing one of the payment options listed on the second page of the billing statement. (Billing Statements were emailed to students at their ZagMail Account.)
• Establish an “Authorized Payer”: If you would like to access the billing statement, your student can establish you as an “Authorized Payer”. Information about this process is available online.
• Submit a photo for the student ID Card: Avoid standing in line, and submit your picture for your ID card. Pictures are due no later than August 19^th. Instructions and picture requirements.
• Notify Financial Aid of any outside scholarships your student is receiving: Any scholarship your student is receiving from the community should be reported on Zagweb under the “Resources/Additional Information” tab. Scholarship checks should be sent to the Financial Aid Office and please make sure that they include the student’s name and ID number.

Also – please remember that all official communication is sent to the student at their ZagMail account. We encourage you to have a conversation with your student about any expectations that you may have, especially if you want them to relay pertinent information on to you.
