Please complete our “Loan / Work Study Change Request” form, found at umass.edu/umfa/forms, and submit it via DocuSign. Please be aware that you have 30 days from your loan’s original disbursement date to request a change or cancellation, and changes and cancellations requested within this window are considered to be effective as of the original disbursement date.
Documents may be picked up or dropped off at Financial Aid Services from 11am to 3pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
