The Office of Student Finance (OSF) manages the initial components of the student finance lifecycle for all University of Minnesota students. We calculate financial aid eligibility and manage the awarding, origination, disbursement, recalculation, and return of financial aid. Compliance-forward in our approach, we also manage the student finance portion of internal and external audits and partner closely with other Academic Support Resources (ASR) units with billing, accounts receivable, and loan/account collections work.
