This process is only for those students who have accepted or declined their financial aid or those students who are unable to accept or decline their awards. If your aid has already been disbursed, please click here for information on how to make changes.
Previously accepted
If you accepted all or part of your aid and it has not yet disbursed, you may decline or cancel it by completing a Financial Aid Revision Request.
Previously declined
If you declined all or part of your aid and now would like to accept it, the aid may be eligible to be reoffered to you. To request a change to your aid, you will need to complete a Financial Aid Revision Request.
If your financial aid awards have not changed since the award was declined, reinstatement is a relatively simple process. If you have received any additional aid or changed your enrollment status, a financial aid specialist will have to review your eligibility for reinstatement.

Please allow up to 3 weeks for processing once your request has been submitted. While your request is being processed, you will see this item listed as an "Unsatisfied Requirement" on the home tab of your Financial Aid Dashboard in your myWSU student portal.
Note: Please be aware that not all offered aid may be available for acceptance. Requests to increase financial aid that exceeds maximum and/or annual eligibility will be cancelled. Aid that has already paid out cannot be reduced. The Office of Financial Aid may adjust your request to stay in compliance with regulations.
