Azusa Pacific U Streamlines Financial Aid and Communication with Students

Students at Azusa Pacific University have a new tool to help them complete financial aid forms on time and communicate with administrators and counselors in the financial aid office. The school is using CampusLogic, a student financial services platform, to make it easier for students and families to complete the financial aid process, according to a news announcement.

With CampusLogic's StudentForms product, APU's financial aid office can automate aid forms, communicate with students via text and e-mail, and get compliant e-signatures from students and parents. Students will be able to access forms and support any time, anywhere.

"We are always looking for ways to set students up for success, and often find that navigating financial aid can be challenging — particularly for the many first-generation students that we serve. CampusLogic can help us remove that burden," said Stephen Fahey, director of undergraduate financial aid at Azusa Pacific. "This new initiative is about streamlining the process for families, and freeing up our team to counsel students more often."
