Mid Year Transfer
If you are transferring to UPJ mid year after the Fall term, you need to complete the following steps to ensure your financial aid will be in place for the Spring term.
- File a FAFSA
- If you already have a FAFSA on file at your present school, you need to change the school code to UPJ. This can be done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or by making the correction on your SAR (Student Aid Report) and mailing it to the Federal Processor
- Complete the UPJ Acceptance Form and return to Financial Aid Office
- Contact PHEAA to change the school that is listed to receive your state grant funding. You can call at 1-800-692-7392, or update online through Account Access at www.aessuccess.org
- Provide the Registrar’s Office and Financial Aid Office at UPJ with a copy of your most recent transcript from all previous schools.*
End of Academic Year Transfer
If you are planning to transfer to UPJ for the next academic year, you must complete the following steps to ensure having your eligibility reviewed for financial aid:
- File a FAFSA and list UPJ as the intended school. The FAFSA must be filed by April 1 to be eligible for campus based aid
- Complete the UPJ Acceptance form and return to Financial Aid Office
- Provide the Registrar’s Office and Financial Aid Office at UPJ with a copy of your most recent transcript from all previous schools.*
Transfer from UPJ
If you are transferring from UPJ to another school, you must complete the following:
- Contact the Financial Aid Office at the school to which you are transferring.
- Be aware of any forms and deadlines that the school to which you are transferring may require.
- If you borrowed a Stafford or Perkins Loan while you attended UPJ, you are required to complete exit counseling.
*Please note that when determining grade level for Stafford Loan funding, the number of credits that transfer into UPJ will be used, not the number of credits you have completed at your previous school. Only the credits that UPJ accepts as transfer credits will count toward your grade level for Financial Aid purposes.
