Verification Forms
Submit verification paperwork as soon as notification is received. Verifications submitted close to the start of term may delay financial aid disbursement, as processing time increases during busy periods in the financial aid office. Late verifications may also be cause for canceled or undisbursable aid if deadlines are missed.

NSLDS Loan Limits
Under the Department’s regulations at 34 CFR 668.35(d), a student who has inadvertently exceeded annual or aggregate loan limits, and who is not in default on a Title IV loan, may regain Title IV eligibility if the student: (1) repays the excess loan amount in full; or (2) makes satisfactory arrangements to repay the excess amount.
(2) Making Satisfactory Repayment Arrangements for the Excess Loan Amount (Reaffirmation)
A student who has inadvertently overborrowed may regain Title IV eligibility by making satisfactory repayment arrangements acceptable to the servicer of the loan. The satisfactory repayment arrangement requirement can be met if the student agrees, in writing, to repay the excess amount according to the terms and conditions of the promissory note that supported the loan. This is called “reaffirmation.”
The reaffirmation process includes the following steps:
- Step 1 – Either the institution or the student contacts the servicer and explains that the student has inadvertently overborrowed and wishes to reaffirm the debt.
- Step 2 – The servicer sends the student a reaffirmation agreement.
- Step 3 – The student reads, signs, and returns to the servicer the reaffirmation agreement.
- Step 4 – The servicer sends the student confirmation that the reaffirmation agreement has been accepted. The student or servicer must provide a copy of the reaffirmation confirmation to the institution.
- Step 5 – The inadvertent overborrowing is considered to have been resolved as of the date the servicer receives the student’s signed reaffirmation agreement.

2024-2025 Aid Year Forms (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025)
On June 17, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education informed institutions in an electronic announcement that “Batch institutional corrections via the Electronic Data Exchange (EDE), as well as paper corrections, will be available in the first half of August.” This means that corrections by the school, such as the appeals listed below, will not be accepted until probably after August 15, 2024. While we are accepting appeal forms, we will not begin processing them until Federal Student Aid is open for corrections. Expect a one to two month delay in processing.

Other Forms
Post-Baccalaureate Financial Aid Request
Consent to Release Information
FERPA prohibits EOU from giving parents access to student information except with the student’s voluntary, written consent. EOU may release student information to parents only with the written consent of the student – regardless of the student’s age, or whether the student is a legal dependent of the parent, or whether the parent pays the student’s tuition and school expenses. FERPA does not allow us to give information such as grades or GPA over the phone or via e-mail, even to the student.
EOU has migrated away from paper consent forms and now requires that students set up a proxy view for anyone with whom the student wishes to share information.
Authorization to Hold Title IV Credit Balances
A Title IV credit balance is created when the total of all FSA funds credited to a student’s account exceeds the total of tuition, fees, food, housing, and other allowable charges on a student’s account. This form, if signed by you (the student or parent, as applicable), authorizes EOU to retain a Title IV credit balance
Federal Tax Information Release
The sole purpose of this consent form is to facilitate the disclosure of FTI for the use only in the application, award, and administration of financial aid for any component of the cost of attendance at EOU. Any other use is prohibited under the Higher Education Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1098h(c)(3). Requests from anyone other than the student will not be accepted.
Request for Partial Deferment of Housing/Meal Plan Charges
Eastern Oregon University housing charges are assessed as follows: Fall 40%, Winter 35%, Spring 25%. EOU realizes that this may cause a hardship for students on a fixed monthly budget. Therefore, you have the option of deferring a portion of housing charges for Fall and Winter terms.
Request for Student’s Identification Number and Certification
New or Change to Existing Fee Remission Request
All new fee remissions requests must be submitted for budget and executive approval through Laserfiche Forms prior to award offer being made.
