Instructions for 2018/2019 Forms
1. 1. Download the free Acrobat Reader if you don't already have it.
  2. Type or print student name and Chico I.D. on the top of each requested item. All of the 2018/2019 academic year forms are editable PDFs. If a form isn't showing up as editable on your computer, do a hard refresh - hold the control key down and click the refresh arrow up by the URL.
  3. Submit only copies and keep originals for your records.
  4. Do not send documents by email, as email is not a secure means of communication.
  5. Items submitted by fax should automatically update your Student Center "To Do List" from "requested" to "received" within 72 hours. If you have any questions after 72 hours, please call us. Do not resend additional copies unless specifically asked to do so.
  6. Items submitted by mail or delivered to our office should update your Student Center "To Do List" from "requested" to "received" within four weeks. If you have any questions after five weeks, please contact our office.
  7. Check your Student Center on a weekly basis after your forms show as received. If we need any additional information, it will show up on your "To Do List." It takes approximately 8 weeks to complete your verification after all documents have been received. Once the requested items have been reviewed and completed, they will be removed from your "To Do List."
  8. You must submit all requested items on your "To Do List" by June 1 in order to have your file complete before the first fall disbursement.
  9. See Important Processing Dates on our Announcements page.
