The process of transferring your financial aid from another college to Ivy Tech is complicated, but this checklist should help.

1. Release Federal Aid Application Information to Ivy Tech
   The information on your federal Student Aid Report [SAR] must be electronically-released to Ivy Tech. There are a few ways to do this.

• You may already have a copy of your Student Aid Report. It’s usually 4-5 pages of FAFSA information - if you have it, submit it to the Financial Aid Office.
• If you don’t have a copy of your Student Aid Report, you can call [319] 337-5665 and request a duplicate be mailed--this takes 7-14 days. Be sure to confirm your mailing address when you call.
• Your current school may be able to provide you a copy of your SAR or give you a number from the SAR called a PIN Number that can be used to obtain your FAFSA information electronically; submit your PIN number to the Ivy Tech Financial Aid Office.

1. Transfer State Aid to Ivy Tech
   If you receive state financial aid, you must call [317] 232-2350 or write to the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana [SSACI], 150 E. Market St., Indianapolis, IN 46204 to inform SSACI of the decision to transfer to Ivy Tech-Lafayette [010039].
2. Transfer Loan Aid to Ivy Tech
   If you receive financial aid in the form of a student loan, you must contact your lender to cancel any pending disbursements at your prior school, then inquire about loan application procedures at Ivy Tech. For more information see link to loans.
3. Complete Admissions Procedures
   You must be degree-seeking to be eligible to receive financial aid. Please contact the Admissions Office in Ivy Hall Room 1144 to receive information about admissions procedures. Admissions requirements include the following: You must complete an Admissions Application. You must have an official high school transcript or GED scores submitted to the Admissions Office by the granting institution. In some cases you may have to have your college transcript submitted to the Admissions Office by the granting institution.
4. Pay Tuition
   Tuition must be paid to the Ivy Tech Cashier’s Office by the established due date. Students in the process of transferring financial aid should be prepared to pay for tuition and books without the benefit of financial aid. If admissions and/or financial aid files are not complete, no aid will be awarded to pay or defer tuition. In addition, first-time Ivy Tech student loan borrowers cannot use pending loan funds to pay tuition.
   

If you have any questions, call or stop by the Financial Aid Office.
