Receiving Aid
Address Policy
Keep your address up to date with the University Directory each time you change your address to avoid unnecessary delays in receiving checks and correspondence. UF maintains a University Directory which is used for mailing all official documents. SFA and University Financial Services mails all financial aid checks and correspondence to addresses listed in the University directory. Students are responsible for keeping their current and local addresses up-to-date with the University at all times.
Use ISIS to Keep Your Address Up to Date with the University Directory
Make sure you get your UF mail. Keep your local and permanent addresses
up to date. To change your address choose one of the following:
