You may be eligible for financial aid and not even know it! We encourage every student to apply for federal financial aid.
Federal Aid
Find out how much aid you qualify for. Go to FAFSA.ed.gov. Submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online. The FAFSA application opens each year on October 1st. You can fill it out any time during the academic year. The application will take two weeks to reach SUU after you submit it.
The FAFSA helps you apply for grants, work-study, and student loans. Many of these aid programs (and scholarships) are based on financial need. That means not everyone will qualify. But all students are offered unsubsidized loans. These loans often have lower interest rates than private loans. That makes them a better choice for school costs.
There are multiple scholarship opportunities available to students. There are scholarships for Current Student and Departmental Scholarships. Apply for these scholarships between Nov. 1 and Feb. 1 each year.
To apply for these scholarships, go to your MySUU Portal. Click on the “Scholarships” link found under the “APPS” heading. Many of these scholarships require that you have a FAFSA application on file. It is important to fill out the FAFSA even if you don’t think you will qualify for need-based aid.
We also encourage you to look into private scholarships. The following list of credible websites list legitimate private scholarships for college students.
To see your financial aid award, log in to MySUU Portal, click on “Financial Aid” then “Award”. View your award by “Aid Year”. Select the correct aid year, then click the tab that says “Award Overview”. If you wish to accept your award, you can select the “Accept Award Offer” tab.
Online students take their exams online. To maintain integrity, the student exams are supervised through a system called Proctorio. Learn more about Online Exam Proctoring.

You should be able to find your textbooks and supplies through the SUU Bookstore. They have a lot of fun T-Bird memorabilia too. The Textbooks feature will show the books for your classes. It will also compare prices to the same books on other websites. The bookstore will ship your orders right to you.
Course Materials
In addition to textbook(s), your classes may require other materials or software. The needed textbooks should be listed in your MySUU portal when you click Courses. You contact the instructor prior to registration for a complete list of what you need.
You will access your courses in an online system called Canvas. Review the Canvas System Requirements so you can make sure your computer is ready. Look for standard software and plug-in applications and formats used here at SUU.
Free short-term (one-time) online tutoring is taking the place of free walk-in tutoring. The Tutoring Center can match students with a tutor the same day or schedule sessions in advance. Please submit a request (at least) 30 minutes in advance (more notice is even better). Students can request a free short-term tutor more than once, but must submit a request form each time.
The Writing Center helps students write stronger papers for their classes. Tutors can help you plan the structure and support for your idea. They can help you keep your topic focused. They can help with sentence structure and grammar. They can do proofreading. Tutors are trained in many writing styles and can help you at all points in the writing process.
