IMPORTANT FALL 2010 / SPRING 2011 FINANCIAL AID ANNOUNCEMENT

Pursuant to Act 605 of 2009, a student who receives any form of state-supported student financial assistance must sign a Release of Student Information Authorization (RIA) form.  A decision to authorize or not authorize will not impact a student's eligibility for state supported financial assistance, however no funds will disburse until a completed RIA form is received by our office.  To find out if you need to complete this form, please use myUCA self-service to check your financial aid status.
