We have made some progress but we are still extremely behind in processing disbursements and certifying loans. 1/3 of our students loans have disbursed. We had a call yesterday with our processing centers and they have asked that student please not contact the processing centers directly because it is creating greater delays. Unfortunately, they are not staffed with customer service representatives so any call or inquiries are restricting their ability to certify loans. I apologize for any inconvenience but we were informed that it still may be an additional 3 weeks before all completed files are certified. Student with completed files will not be placed on hold or restricted from registering or attending classes. We will be contacting student regarding any missing documents. You can also view this information by logging on to your student link at https://mycampus.argosy.edu. We also ask that you please reference this site for refund information under your account summary.
Pending= We are processing it but it has not been approved/certified yet- Could be in this stage for approximately 3 weeks
Approved= loans have been certified and should disburse in approximately 4 business days
($)= this is amount that you will be receiving in a refund, it just has not been processed yet.
Stipend =Refund. Once this appears on your student link, this amount will be sent to www.salliemaebank.com/aua approximately 3-4 business days later.
If you have additional questions please contact us at 770 407-1198.
Sincerely,
Argosy University Student Finance Department

Important Notice Re: HB 455’s Impact on Teachers Pursuing a Leadership Degree
To: All Students Enrolled in the College of Education, Argosy University Atlanta
As you may be aware, on April 6, 2009 the Governor signed into law House Bill 455 (HB 455), which provides that educators who earn education leadership degrees on or after July 1, 2010, will not earn a salary increase unless they are already in a leadership position. According to HB 455, all leadership positions will be defined by the State Board of Education. Teachers completing degrees in areas of education leadership prior to July 1, 2010, will remain eligible to receive the normal salary increase upon degree completion without occupying a leadership position, according to our understanding of the bill.
Argosy University is adopting several strategies to address this issue including modification of our programs so that teachers not in leadership positions might continue to have opportunities to receive salary increases. We will be discussing our plans on how we are addressing this issue during several town hall meetings. You will receive a schedule of these meetings within the next week. We hope that you can participate.
If you cannot attend the meeting designated for your group, you will need to contact your advisor for additional information.
Sincerely,
Edward L. Bouie, Jr., Ed.D.

Financial Aid Refund Information
2009-2010 Financial Aid- Summer 2009 Semester
After discussions with our processing department and corporate offices, we wanted to make all students aware that we have significant delays in the processing of financial aid for the new award year.
If you have faxed in the Institutional Application for financial aid to 770 407-1191 and it is still showing as “missing” or “requested/required”, please do not resend. We have been manually uploading the documents but we are waiting on the requirements to clear once your file has been reviewed.
When your loans show as “Approved”, then your loans have been certified. “Pending” or “Estimated” awards on your student link mean that they are set to be reviewed.
We understand that many students rely on refunds for personal expenses. Therefore we wanted to make sure you were aware of these delays so that you can budget accordingly. At this time, we expect a majority of our disbursements to be received towards the end of May- beginning of June.
At the start of a semester there is an extremely high call volume which will create further delays in processing. We ask for your patience while we utilize our existing staff to focus on the processing of student files in order to minimize further delays. We will be contacting individual students directly as additional information is needed.
We thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Sincerely,
Argosy University Student Finance Department.
