Submission guidelines
Many of the documents requested by the Office of Student Financial Aid contain highly sensitive information, such as your name, Social Security number and banking information. WSU email is not a secure form of submission, because we care about your data security we prefer you do not email attachments or photos of documents. There are multiple ways to submit documents to us.
Electronic forms
Check your financial aid requirements in the Financial Aid portal in Academica. Many of our forms are electronic and can be submitted to us directly from the link in the portal under Student Requirements. If your forms are not electronic you can use the link below. Documents submitted via the link will be reviewed and identified before your requirements are updated in Academica.
U.S. Mail
Hand delivery
Documents can be submitted to the Student Service Center front desk located in the Welcome Center, 42 W. Warren.
Please do not use more than one submission method or send extra copies of your documents, e.g., do not submit your documents by both mail and fax. This may cause delays in processing your documents.
Submit only forms and documents that have been requested or are necessary to make adjustments to your financial aid. You will be notified of which documents to submit by Academica or your Wayne State email address. Submitting documents that have not been requested can also result in delays.
Include the student's name and nine-digit Banner ID number on all documents submitted to our office.
Sign documents with ink signatures only. We cannot accept typed or stylus signatures, even if the document has been printed.
