When the UGA Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) electronically receives a student’s FAFSA data from the U.S. Department of Education, the FAFSA data is screened to determine whether the student must provide additional documentation and/or information to the UGA Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA). If additional documentation or information is needed, OSFA will use the student’s UGAMail (opens in a new tab) account to instruct the student to log in to Athena (opens in a new tab) to see what documentation or information they need to provide to OSFA.
