ISP Is here for you

Students whose immigration circumstances may impact financial aid, registration, advising, insurance requirements, or academic standing. We know that policies can feel confusing, forms can be overwhelming, and accessing resources isn’t always straightforward. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Guidance on Forms and Appeals

Students lined up at Financial Aid counter in lobby of JSSB.

Some forms and processes can feel confusing—appeals, petitions, corrections… what do they all mean? Our team is here to guide you through any form or appeal process, including but not limited to:

  • Submitting your CASFA or FAFSA, or making corrections to your application
  • Financial aid forms, petitions, and appeals
  • Major declarations or change‑of‑major requests
  • In‑state tuition corrections and petitions for in‑state residency

 

Financial Aid Reviews

We make sure you’re receiving every financial aid opportunity available while keeping your tuition bill as low as possible. We do this by:

  • Ensuring you receive every grant you qualify for — federal, state, and institutional. If we notice something missing, we will advocate on your behalf.
  • Advising you on scholarships you should be applying for, based on your situation, eligibility, and goals.
  • Reviewing your tuition bill with you to make sure you’re not overpaying and that all charges are accurate.

We will help you maximize your aid and minimize your costs with clarity and confidence.

The Health Insurance Requirement

º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Denver Insurance Requirment

º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Denver students taking nine (9) or more credit hours in the Fall or Spring are required to have health insurance that complies with the university requirement.

For many immigrants, finding an affordable plan that meets university requirements can be challenging. Our office is here to help you stay compliant with the insurance policy. We can:

  • Assist you with completing the insurance waiver
  • Connect you with community resources to explore insurance options
  • Some students may qualify for insurance exceptions on a case-by-case basis

If you do not have health insurance and need help opting out of the university insurance plan, please schedule an appointment for guidance on how you can still stay compliant.
