File your 2012-13 FAFSA by March 10 at www.fafsa.gov

Returning students for 2012-13 (fall 2012 through summer 2013) should file the 2012-13 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal, state and University financial aid, including all federal student loans. UE's FAFSA school code is 001795.

Filing by March 10 is essential for Indiana residents, and highly recommended for all. Questions regarding the FAFSA should be directed to the Office of Financial Aid (Olmsted Hall, Room 116) at 488-2364, (800) 424-8634 or financialaid@evansville.edu.

Beginning February 1 - IRS Data Retrieval: Some applicants may be prompted, when completing the FAFSA online, to directly transfer parent and/or student IRS tax information to their FAFSAs. Federal income tax returns for 2011 must have been filed electronically for approximately 10-14 days to use this tool. The UE Office of Financial Aid recommends that eligible students use this tool to increase the accuracy of the FAFSA and potentially reduce documentation required if selected for "verification." The IRS data retrieval function can be used for the initial FAFSA or to correct a submitted FAFSA which had been filed before tax data was available.

Get Involved - Parents Encouraged to Join the UE Professional Network

The UE Offices of Alumni and Parent Relations and Career Services and Cooperative Education have created a convenient, simple and direct way for parents to become a part of the UE Connect program and to engage with UE and its students. The new online system, University of Evansville Professional Network, allows students and recent graduates to contact interested parents and alumni of the University as they explore career paths and attain post graduate outcomes. Currently we have more than 300 members engaged in the UE Professional Network and we encourage you to join.

As UE Parents you represent an important resource for students as they determine their majors, minors, and career directions.

The Professional Network is a web resource of career profiles designed to connect more alumni, parents and friends of the University with the career development needs of students. It is a chance for them to ask questions about your field and your transition from a student to the professional world. You offer a unique opportunity for students to increase their business protocol and communication skills.

All you have to do is:

Visit the Career Services Website
Create an account
Respond to students' inquiries, as necessary. For more information, contact alumni@evansville.edu.
