FAQ’s about eForms
WHAT IS AN eForm?
eForms are electronic forms available for student use. Some eForm fields are pre-populated with the
student's information.
DOES THE STUDENT PRINT THE
eForm?
No. eForms are electronic forms and designed to be completed and routed electronically. There is a print
option if you would like to keep a paper copy for your records but you do not need to print the form for our
office.
HOW IS THE eForm APPROVED BY
THE DEPARTMENT?
Once the student completes the eForm, the student clicks the 'SUBMIT‘ or ‘SEND” button. Once the Financial
Aid office receives ALL of your requested forms, your file will be reviewed.
IS ANY SPACE PROVIDED ON THE
eForm FOR COMMENTS?
Yes. eForms provides an area that allows the student and the department to comment, ask questions, or
provide additional clarification.
IS THE eForm THE SAME AS A
PAPER FORM?
No. eForms are designed to be used on a computer and utilize series of skip logic, drop-down boxes, radio
buttons, and forced-fill areas to guide the student through the form and help simplify completing the form.
CAN STUDENTS STILL USE THE
PAPER FORMS?
Once a form has been redesigned to an eForm, the 'paper' form is eliminated and students use the eForm.
HOW DOES A DEPARTMENT LOOK
AT THE eForms?
The department receives an exact copy of what you completed.
HOW IS THE eForm FILED?
Once the eForm is completed, it is routed to the student's file. There is a nightly batch job run that moves all
completed eForms into the student's file.
Please call the Helpdesk at 800.728.2256 ext. 555 for additional help.
