- Your financial aid will not be disbursed if you have any outstanding Financial Aid Requirements. View your Financial Aid Requirements on the Students tab of myWings.

- Work Study: You must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 hours at UNF to earn work study funding. View Work Study information.

- Concurrent enrollment: students must take a minimum of 6 hours at one institution and submit a copy of their UNF Concurrent Enrollment form, Consortium Agreement, and fee slip from the other institution to receive aid at UNF. The Consortium Agreement does not guarantee straight reimbursement, but will ensure that you receive aid for which you are eligible based on total enrollment.
- Filing FAFSA: The priority deadline for each aid year is April 1. We strongly encourage you to complete the FAFSA after you file your taxes each year, by the April 1 deadline.
