•       Students may electronically sign documents submitted using OwlFiles.  For documents submitted in person, or any documents including a parent’s signature, wet signatures are required.

•       Upload each document as a whole file, not as individual pages.

•       Emailed or faxed documents will NOT be accepted.

•       If requested, you must present ORIGINAL documents in person for other information, such as proof of citizenship. Copies or mailed citizenship documents will not be accepted.

NOTE: Forms may also be submitted via mail or in-person drop off to the FAU Office of Student Financial Aid at any partner campus (Boca, Davie, Jupiter).
