Financial Aid Applications and Forms
File Submissions
Submitting Required Financial Aid Documents
Some applicants for financial aid will need to submit certain required documents in order to complete the application process. These documents may complete the FAFSA, Tennessee state aid program applications, or institutional awards. Some of these documents may contain sensitive information, so we urge you to consider using our online document upload to keep your information secure.
How do I know if there are required financial aid documents that I need to submit?
- Use your UU Network access to log in to Financial Aid Self-Service.
- From "Financial Aid, go to "Required Documents."
- Choose the appropriate aid year from the drop-down menu at the top of the page. *Please note: you could have missing required documents for two different years at once.
- If documents are missing, they will be marked "Incomplete" and shaded yellow on the left of the page.
- Once we have received your upload, the item will be marked "Complete" and shaded green on the right of the page. Please allow up to two business days for your account to reflect submitted documents.
If your documents are incorrect or incomplete, a staff member from our office will contact you via email.
How do I submit documents?
There are 4 ways to submit your required financial aid documents:
1. Online Document Upload (most secure - recommended)
Students now have the option to securely submit financial aid documents online using the link below. Currently enrolled students, as well as accepted applicants, may use the online document upload tool.
Steps to Upload a Requested Document:
Our secure online document upload uses a "file request" inside Self Service. You will need to log into your Self Service account to submit a document using this option.
Tips for successful submission
- Make sure all forms are legible.
- Complete forms in blue or black ink.
- Make sure your name and UU Student ID is on at least the first submitted page.
- If possible, scan and save multiple pages as one file.
- Review your documents before scanning and submitting.
- Do not upload documents that are password-protected.
- Do not upload documents that are damaged or corrupted. Any such documents will be discarded.
- If you are encountering problems when attempting to upload documents, you may want to try using a different Internet browser.
What happens if I get an error message when I try to upload a file?
There are several reasons why you might see an error message when trying to upload files to a file request. Try to upload to the file request in a new browser (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari). You can also clear your browser's cache and reattempt uploading the file. If you still have issues, contact us at finaid@uu.edu.
