Office of Financial Aid
If you have not completed your 2024–2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you should submit it as soon as possible using AU’s School Code 001634. If you have had trouble filing the FAFSA, we encourage you to try again. You can click here for more information on how to review and correct your FAFSA form.
Once you have filed your FAFSA, you can check your status at any time under the “My Activity” section of your Federal Student Aid account Dashboard.
Regardless of where you are in the process, the Office of Financial Aid is here to help. View your financial aid checklist on your Self-Service account to see your next steps. You can also schedule an appointment with the financial aid staff to help you navigate from where you are at in the process.
AU’s Office of Financial Aid is dedicated to providing timely updates to students, families, and our community.
