Student Forms

Student Forms is our new student platform that allows students (and parents) to electronically sign and upload documents! This means that you can submit your documents securely without having to come into the office!

As the students and the financial aid staff work through the forms, the Student Forms software will send updates in real time with documentation that is needed based on the answers provided by the students.

1. You must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to Northeast (school code 011667). If you do not have a FAFSA on file, you cannot set up/link up your student account.
2. Go to the StudentForms website
3. Enter your Northeast username and password.
4. The first time you log in, it will ask you to fill out some information to link up your Northeast student account to your FAFSA information. It will not ask you this for future log ins. Fill out your:
• First name (as listed on your FAFSA)
• Last name (as listed on your FAFSA)
• Date of birth (as listed on your FAFSA)
• Social Security number (as listed on your FAFSA)
• Preferred email address (and confirm the email address)
• Phone number if you would like to receive text messages for tasks you need to do (tasks that could prevent your financial aid offer and/or disbursement)
5. Click on "Register Account"

Some of the information in the register account screen is pre-populated. You may need to update the information to match your FAFSA exactly for the first and last name. If the information in the fields does not match your FAFSA or if there is not a FAFSA on file, you will receive an error message when trying to set up your account.

The Register Account screen should be similar to this:

On your MyNortheast account, you will see Unmet Requirements.

After your Student Forms account is active, any new tasks that are assigned to you will send an email notification to your Northeast email account. You will be sent reminder emails periodically until the task is complete.

1. On the Review & Sign screen in Student Forms, the student must click the Create my E-Sign PIN link.
   The first time that a student e-signs a web form, they must create an e-sign pin to sign electronically. The student always has the option to opt out of e-sign, print, sign and upload the form.
2. On the Consent to Use of Electronic Signatures form, the student can agree to the terms.
3. On the Manage E-Sign PIN modal, the student must provide the following information exactly as it appears on the student's FAFSA:
• First Name
• Last Name
• Date of Birth
• Social Security Number
4. The student chooses a five-digit number for a pin, confirm the five-digit pin, and click the Create button.
   Result: After a pin has been created, the student is redirected to the Review & Sign screen with a confirmation message that the pin has been created. If the information does not match what is on the student's FAFSA, an error message appears, and the pin is not created.
5. The student can use their five-digit pin to e-sign their document.

Yes! This platform is functional on mobile devices.

Yes! Once you have e-signed your document, you will be brought back to the main page of your tasks and you will see a section that indicates a parent signature is required, as well as a button that says “Request”.

1. You'll click the “Request” button and a pop-up showing the parent(s) listed on the financial aid application will appear.
2. Click the parent you would like to electronically sign the document (NOTE: if you have two parents listed on your financial aid application, only the parent you choose will have the ability to sign the document.)
3. The parent will receive an email notification letting them know that a document needs their signature – They will need to create an account if they have not already.
4. The parent can review and electronically sign the document through their account.

Important: The parent will need to notify the student if the information on the document is inaccurate and needs to be changed. The student will need to make this change and re-request the signature.

For FAFSA Filers: If the parent does not have a valid SSN, they will not be able to electronically sign and neither will the student. The student will instead click “Opt out of E-sign” which will allow them to download and print the document so that both the student and parent can provide wet signatures. Once the document has been signed, the student will upload it.
