The processing time for the COA Appeal varies depending on the time of year. On average, it takes three weeks to process. Once an appeal is submitted (via the StudentForms portal), OSFA will review all documentation and contact the student if additional documentation or clarification is needed. Students will be contacted via email and in general, an additional task will be added in the StudentForms portal.
An unresolved overaward could delay the release of aid and/or require students to return a portion of their financial aid. It’s important for students to regularly monitor their official University of Arizona email account and their UAccess Student Center for additional To Do List items, changes to aid and changes to their Bursar’s student account balance. OSFA will always send an email with the outcome of the COA Appeal review, whether it is denied or approved.
