General
We now mail all general publications, such as the Federal Student Aid Handbook, to the mailing addresses maintained on-line at our E-App for Schools site. Note that there is a special question asking where you would like to receive these publications - Question 13. If you leave Question 13 blank, we will send publications to the address that you listed for the "Financial Aid Administrator."

Here are the complete instructions for updating your mailing address on-line. -
