Make sure your financial aid file is complete
After you submit the FAFSA, you may need to submit additional documentation to help us confirm your financial eligibility. This is called “verification” and it’s quite common. Check your Priority Tasks in My ASU to see what, if any, verification items we may need.

Enroll in direct deposit
By enrolling in direct deposit, any financial aid funds that remain after your charges have been paid will go directly into your bank account. Enroll in direct deposit by going to the Finances tab in My ASU and clicking “Direct deposit enrollment.”

Know how your enrollment impacts your aid
Changes in your enrollment can affect your financial aid awards, as one of the factors in your cost of attendance is the number of credit hours you take. If you drop a class, your aid will be decreased to match your enrollment hours. Other changes may adjust your cost of attendance and consequently your aid, including campus and residency status.
