The Financial Aid Office uses BP Logix for electronic document submissions. This secure platform allows users to complete and submit documents from almost anywhere and is compatible with all browsers, including mobile. You must use your Star ID and password to complete and submit forms.
All documents received are logged and linked to your financial aid record. Processing of financial aid documents may take up to 2 weeks. You should expect that processing times may approach this limit during high-volume periods, such as the start of each term, add/drop, and admissions deadlines. Please continue to monitor your Student eServices and St. Cloud State University email for correspondence and requests from our office and staff.
